Hi! I have question about Cocoa Pods dependencies ...

# multiplatform

Hi!
I have question about Cocoa Pods dependencies in KMM.

Suppose there are two multi-platform modules “lib” and “shared”
“shared” depends on “lib”
Both modules require AFNetworking framework.

What is the proper way to add CocoaPods dependency on AFNetworking?

Should I add this fragment to both modules or just to module “lib”?
pod(“AFNetworking”) {
version = “~> 4.0.1”
}

I’m not sure what is a proper way, but adding it to both modules will let you compile and use your framework in the iOS app. When you add only to “lib” won’t work if I remember correctly

[Viacheslav Kormushkin]

cocoapods plugin does not support transitive dependencies, so adding dependency to one module will not work

[Pavel Repkin]

Thank you so much, Kamil and Viacheslav!
I’ve added the dependency to both modules.
It works so far.
The only issue I’ve noticed is a highlighting error in “share” module.

[Pavel Repkin]

Any workaround for these highlighting errors?

[Pavel Repkin]

The highlighting error show up in “share” code after I’ve added

pod("AFNetworking") {
    version = "~> 4.0.1"
}

to build.gradle.kts of “lib” module

Do you have kotlin.mpp.enableGranularSourceSetsMetadata=true in your gradle.properties file?

[Pavel Repkin]

Yes. I’m testing on default new project, created by Android Studio.
This is my gradle.properties.

[Pavel Repkin]

#Gradle
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048M -Dkotlin.daemon.jvm.options\="-Xmx2048M"

#Kotlin
kotlin.code.style=official

#Android
android.useAndroidX=true

#MPP
kotlin.mpp.enableGranularSourceSetsMetadata=true
kotlin.native.enableDependencyPropagation=false
kotlin.mpp.enableCInteropCommonization=true

Then unfortunately I don’t know. I would try invalidate caches and restart option or try to sync project once again

[Pavel Repkin]

It seems to me, that this functionality is not supported yet. I wonder if @Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB] to confirm my guess.
I’ve tried to sync gradle files. Doesn’t help, unfortunately. Anyway, thanks, Kamil.

@Pavel Repkin Hi, you probably meant @Viacheslav Kormushkin, or am I missing something? 🙂

[Pavel Repkin]

Ahhhh, my bad! Vyacheslav, I’m so sorry!

[Viacheslav Kormushkin]

Cocoapods integration works well with single module only and no guarantee that it will work with multiple modules, however I tried to setup a project with the structure you described and I did not see the issue you have. Could you please share your project?

[Pavel Repkin]

Viacheslav, thank you for confirming that only a single module works fine.
I created the problem project one more time from scratch.
This time the highlighting is broken in the code of “shared” project.

I have uploaded the project to github
