kotlinlang

let me give this another shot. has anyone successfully managed to get external cocoapod dependencies working in a kotlin multiplatform project? i feel like i've followed the guide to a t with no luck. <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3PQML5NU/p1604348567259000>

yes, but not without importing those same dependencies again in the main iOS project

so essentially they are just there to do cinterops in a nice way

oh interesting. so you're suggesting if we add the same dependencies to the host app it might run? I'll give that a shot. unfortunately, that still wouldn't solve the issue that the IDE isn't recognizing the cocoapod dependencies in the shared iOS kotlin files

this is an example of the issue i'm unable to solve:

that issue I believe is seperate, I guess you are using HMPP?

running `./gradlew :shared:build` actually does seem to complete successfully. what is HMPP? this is just the base project from using Android Studio with the Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile plugin, and creating a KMM project

that uses HMPP by default I believe (it’s in gradle.properties), it’s a difference in how you declare iOS targets, together (hmpp) or seperate for arm64 x86

unfortunately I don’t know what exactly you should do in your case, because this has been so unstable I’ve lost track of it

ah ok i see. coming from an Android background so i'm unfamiliar with configuring iOS targets.

and got it, well I appreciate the look nonetheless. will keep hacking at it

<@U013V5FK0FP> I looked into the HMPP thing you mentioned and came across <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/migrating-multiplatform-project-to-14.html>

using the "select iOS target platform depending on the Xcode environment variables" workaround fixes the IDE errors for me, and also lets me run the app without any changes to the iOS host app. so, with fingers crossed, it seems my issue is solved.

interestingly it seems to suggest that you shouldn't have to do this if you have the "hierarchical project structure" enabled, which is what the KMM project template does out of the box. I checked my gradle.properties and indeed it uses:
```kotlin.mpp.enableGranularSourceSetsMetadata=true
kotlin.native.enableDependencyPropagation=false```
so, not entirely sure whats up, but thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Jetbrains promised they give the highest priority to “works in gradle but not in the IDE” bugs, glad you got it working
