[ZabGo]

Hello,
I would like to add a third party library to my kotlin multiplatform project.
I managed to add it for Android but I am kind of stuck for iOS.

It's building without any error but I cannot access it from kotlin.
I can see it in my external libraries with the binaries files but there are no headers. I can access org.sample though but it’s empty.
So I thought that the issue could come from the missing headers but after several tries I cannot figure it out. 
If you have any ideas, that would be great!!! Thanks for your help

Here my config:

build.gradle

iosX64("ios") {
  binaries {
    binaries {
      framework('Shared')
    }
  }

  compilations.main{
    cinterops{
      myCinterop{
        packageName "org.sample"
        defFile project.file("$projectDir/myDefFile.def")
        includeDirs("$projectDir/lib/ios/MyLibraryName.framework/Headers/Lmi")
      }
    }
  }
}

myDefFile.def

language = Objective-C
staticLibraries= binaryFile1.a binaryFile2.a binaryFile3.a
libraryPaths = /path/to/binaries/
linkerOpts= -F/path/to/binaries/ -framework MyLibraryName

the bindings are generated from the headers

[ZabGo]

I thought that includeDirs("$projectDir/lib/ios/MyLibraryName.framework/Headers/Lmi") would include the headers. It's not the case then, isn't it?

[Kris Wong]

you need to add headers and headerFilter to your def file

[Kris Wong]

includeDirs just tells it where to find headers

[ZabGo]

ok I thought includeDirs was a shortcut to add all the headers at once. I think that a little bash script will be needed to add them to the def file then ;)
Sorry if my questions sound dumb, not really used to deal with all this yet

[Kris Wong]

it parses them recursively, if that helps

[Kris Wong]

hence the headerFilter

[ZabGo]

Ok I see. it looks like it's working. I have some errors but it's not related to kmp I think.
Thanks for your help!
