I have a multi module Kotlin Multiplatform library for Andro

Question

I have a multi module Kotlin Multiplatform library for Android+iOS+tvOS that looks something like the following ```MyProject Library Library common Library submodule Library submodule with cinterops has a cinterop def for a native dependency let s call it Foo``` The idea is that Library depends on `Library submodule` and `Library submodule with cinterops` both of which depend on `Library common` All is working fine with the exception of the `Library submodule with cinterops` I can build that module in isolation which generates the aar framework files and klibs but when I build `Library` the linker fails with the following ```The Applications Xcode <http 11 app Contents Developer Toolchains XcodeDefault xctoolchain usr bin ld|11 app Contents Developer Toolchains XcodeDefault xctoolchain usr bin ld> command returned non zero exit code 1 output ld framework not found Foo``` I m not sure why ` framework Foo` is being added to the `ld` command executed as part of ` Library linkReleaseFrameworkApple` I m guessing I need to tell the linker where to find it but I m not sure how to go about it Does anyone have any pointers for how I might fix it

I ve spent a bit more time debugging this The `Library submodule with cinterops` is defined as a dependency of `commonMain` like so ```api project Libary submodule with cinterops ``` If I add the following to the `framework` options in `Library build gradle` ```export project Libary submodule with cinterops ``` I get the following output during ` Library linkDebugFrameworkApple` snipped for brevity ``` gt Task Library linkDebugFrameworkApple FAILED w Following libraries are specified to be exported with Xexport library but not included to the build path to MyProject Library submodule with cinterops build libs apple main Library submodule with cinterops cinterop Foo klib Included libraries lt snip gt path to MyProject Library submodule with cinterops build classes kotlin apple main Library submodule with cinterops klib path to MyProject Library submodule with cinterops build classes kotlin apple main Library submodule with cinterops cinterop Foo klib lt snip gt e Applications Xcode invocation reported errors The Applications Xcode command returned non zero exit code 1 output ld framework not found Foo```
