Does anyone have experience with compiling their KMP app into an iOS archive to upload to TestFlight? I packaged my shared code as a framework and included it in my iPhone target but when I try to build an archive for a Generic iOS Device, I end up getting a No such module 'SharedCode' error on my import statements

You need to make sure you’ve got both iosArm64 and iosX64 targets in your config

val onPhone = System.getenv("SDK_NAME")?.startsWith("iphoneos") ?: false
if (onPhone) {
    iosArm64("ios")
} else {
    iosX64("ios")
}

You can also do that with just ios but we had issues in older intellij builds

[zsperske]

I was using this from the jetbrains tutorial

val iOSTarget: (String, KotlinNativeTarget.() -> Unit) -> KotlinNativeTarget =
        if (System.getenv("SDK_NAME")?.startsWith("iphoneos") == true)
            ::iosArm64
        else
            ::iosX64 
    iOSTarget("ios") {
        binaries {
            framework {
                baseName = "SharedCode"
            }
        }
    }

I also tried forcing it to only do arm. In your example you don't specify the shared module, is that handled elsewhere?

Cocoapods

[kpgalligan]

The JB tutorial doesn’t use cocoapods

[zsperske]

ahhh yeah I remember asking you about that

[zsperske]

should I be going the cocoapod route as well?

[kpgalligan]

That’s up to you. I’ve had non-cocoapods work in an Archive. I don’t know what you’d need to do to fix it, but it can work.

[kpgalligan]

I find cocoapods easier with simpler projects, but it can get complex.

[zsperske]

will keep at it, thanks!

The new project templates in 1.4 aren't bad for a non-cocoapods reference. Lot of improvement there compared to the old stuff

[zsperske]

IDE templates? or somewhere under https://github.com/Kotlin ?

[russhwolf]

IDE

[russhwolf]

though it won't answer your testflight-specific questions probably

[zsperske]

still, worth a look. i've put off updating to 1.4 since when I took a look last week a lot of artifacts still weren't available

[yousefa2]

Definitely worth updating to 1.4. It will simplify handling deivce/simulator part so you won’t have to worry about it. The statement No such module 'SharedCode' implies that it’s not finding the framework that’s being built by gradle.

If I assume correctly then you would probably have a build phase to run ./gradlew packForXcode to build the framework and if this is passing then the problem might be in Xcode rather than gradle.

The only thing I can think of is search paths. Make sure they have the root folder where the framework is being created.

sounds like i know what I'm doing this afternoon. thanks all! I love this slack group so much.
