let me give this another shot has anyone successfully manage

Question

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>

Tijl · Answer

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

Tijl · Answer

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

jeran · Answer

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

jeran · Answer

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

Tijl · Answer

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

Tijl · Answer

it s just the IDE right gradle works

jeran · Answer

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

Tijl · Answer

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

Tijl · Answer

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

jeran · Answer

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

jeran · Answer

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

jeran · Answer

< Tijl> I looked into the HMPP thing you mentioned and came across 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

Tijl · Answer

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