Hello everyone,

I am really sorry for the ‘simple’ question, but I am quite new to KMM. I have one KMM App (like general utils library for both Android & iOS apps that I have) from Plugin in Android Studio.

— How do I build both .jar & .framework to transfer them to my main project and where do they get saved?

Thanks guys 🙂

[Kris Wong]

are you familiar with gradle?

[Fanis Paschos]

Hello @Kris Wong. Just a little bit. Shall I add code there?

[Fanis Paschos]

As I can see, there is a packForXcode variable

[Kris Wong]

run the assemble task. this will build all your targets.

[Fanis Paschos]

Shall I place something similar there;

[Fanis Paschos]

Ok, great

[Fanis Paschos]

And where should I look for the output .jar file?

[Kris Wong]

run find build/ -name *.jar

[Fanis Paschos]

[Fanis Paschos]

I guess, that you are talking about this assemble, right?

[Kris Wong]

yes

[Fanis Paschos]

Sorry, but I am not really familiar

[Fanis Paschos]

how do I run this command? and where?

[Fanis Paschos]

i Am using a MacBook

[Kris Wong]

you know how to use the terminal?

[Fanis Paschos]

Just a little bit

[Kris Wong]

you can run that command in your source root

[Kris Wong]

though it may be better to replace 'build/' with '.' depending on your setup

[Fanis Paschos]

it says ‘operation not permitted’

[Fanis Paschos]

Well, I fixed that

[Fanis Paschos]

now there are a lot of these files

[Fanis Paschos]

which one should I look for?
*thanks a lot for your help!

[Kris Wong]

there should only be a couple

[Kris Wong]

ah, I see there's probably some intermediates

[Fanis Paschos]

yes, exactly

[Fanis Paschos]

which one should I look for though?

[Kris Wong]

it should be named the same as your project

[Kris Wong]

probably under build/libs

[Fanis Paschos]

[Fanis Paschos]

are these the ones?

[Kris Wong]

do you have an android target or a JVM target?

[Fanis Paschos]

Sorry but, how do I check that?

[Kris Wong]

in your build.gradle[.kts]

[Fanis Paschos]

I think it is Android(if I found that correctly)

[Kris Wong]

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/mobile/discover-kmm-project.html#root-project

[Kris Wong]

android has its own archive format - aar

[Fanis Paschos]

Oh ok

[Fanis Paschos]

So, shall I look for .aar?

[Fanis Paschos]

and, how do I build into .aar?

[Kris Wong]

yes

[Fanis Paschos]

as I can see, under settings.gradle.kts there are these two lines of code

[Fanis Paschos]

include(":androidApp")
include(":shared")

[Fanis Paschos]

How do I create the .aar file though?

[Kris Wong]

the assemble task

[Fanis Paschos]

ok. I just did it, but the file says that it has modified 5 days ago 😕

[Fanis Paschos]

Shouldn’t it say seconds ago?

[Kris Wong]

only if something has changed in the meantime

[Kris Wong]

otherwise you can clean and run it again

[Fanis Paschos]

Ok, I will try now!!

[Fanis Paschos]

afterwards, I copy/paste the .aar file under /libs/ folder and then place in the gradle(app) the following line:

implementation files('libs/myname.aar')

[Fanis Paschos]

is that correct?

[Kris Wong]

i don't recall if that's completely correct, but it's correct in principal at least

[Fanis Paschos]

Ok ok, great

[Fanis Paschos]

will figure out the rest

[Fanis Paschos]

@Kris Wong I am really thankful!! Thank you for your time and effort to help me, due to the fact I am quite new to KMM 🙂

[Fanis Paschos]

have a wonderful night!! till the next time!! cya! 🙂
