# multiplatform

Does the new cocoapods plugin support hierarchical project structures for ios targets? The samples (https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-with-cocoapods-sample) declare the iOS target using ios() but then use symlinks between the x86 and arm source sets. I can't seem to get any cocoapods imports to work in the shared iOS sourceset.

I should note that this is mainly about code completion. It seems to compile fine

Opened an issue for good measure https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-41631

it does not, commonizer only supports platform libraries

[Tijl]

a very limiting restriction, see details here: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/1.4.0/native/commonizer/README.md

hopefully it will change soon or workarounds will be found.

The way I deal with it is to set

kotlin.mpp.enableGranularSourceSetsMetadata=false

and then still use the ios() declaration, combined with

val iosX64Main by getting {
    kotlin.srcDir("iosMain")
}
val iosArm64Main by getting {
    kotlin.srcDir("iosMain")
}

This creates a warning when importing about overlapping sourcesets but it does not seem to break anything. In some projects by default I only use one of the two and pnly enable both when publishing.

As you already mention symlinking will also work (but I suspect it will break checkouts on Windows).

I worked around it by sticking to the good ol' environment variable lookup:

//select iOS target platform depending on the Xcode environment variables
val iOSTarget: (String, KotlinNativeTarget.() -> Unit) -> KotlinNativeTarget =
    if (System.getenv("SDK_NAME")?.startsWith("iphoneos") == true)
        ::iosArm64
    else
        ::iosX64


iOSTarget("ios") {}
