[Tristan]

Hello,

I am trying to use cocoapods by following this documentation: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/native/cocoapods.html But I am encountering the following error.

Do you have an idea of what I could be missing?

I use the version 1.4.21, with

kotlin {
    android()
    ios()

    cocoapods {
        summary = "summary"
        homepage = "homepage"

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

Hello, @Tristan! First of all, do you have both cocoapods-related plugins installed as described in the documentation? Also, I’m a bit concerned with ios.deploymentTarget = "13.5" - is this also present here?

[Tristan]

Thank you for getting back at me @Artyom Degtyarev [JB]

Yes, I did install both of them. (gem install cocoapods and gem install cocoapods-generate).

If I remove only the line regarding the pod, it build the project, and I can see a file shared.podspec added to my shared module.

Adding the line ios.deploymentTarget = "13.5" in the cocoapods { } scope did not change anything.

So, I investigated you hunch, and you were right. I did install the gems, but on a different environment (because of another project using ruby).

I went back to the default ruby environment (no usage of rbenv), and it just worked after restarting the IDE.

Thank you very much for your help. Have a great day.

[Ticket solved] 🙂

Oh actually… One last thing 😄 Everything build with gradle, but it’s still red here, and I do not have autocompletion. Is it because of Android studio?

And when I compile I get this error

Please try to disable compiler caches and rerun the build. To disable compiler caches, add the following line to the gradle.properties file in the project's root directory:
    
    kotlin.native.cacheKind=none

Most probably, this is because ios() target shortcut was used. It creates iosMain intermediate source set, which does not resolve cocoapods libraries. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-41631 for the details.

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

The linker problem seems interesting, please look at Xcode configuration advices from here, and file a bug if nothing will help.

I tried and I still get

I really thought the last ticket would have been able to help me 😢 Because it is exactly that, I just used the wizard, and tried to add cocoapods. There is nothing else in the project 😕
