[Kris Wong]

the workflow to use cocoapods dependencies in a KMP project seems quite odd. who is doing this? did you just create a shell project in Xcode so that you could build your KMP framework?

[alex009]

we use our custom cocoapods integration solution - https://github.com/icerockdev/mobile-multiplatform-gradle-plugin#setup-cocoapods-interop

here usage - https://github.com/icerockdev/moko-widgets/blob/master/widgets-bottomsheet/build.gradle.kts#L48

but integration require exist xcode project with Pods dependencies.

[Kris Wong]

yeah that's the kicker. i have to work on my library in IDEA, but then switch out to Xcode just to build it for iOS

[Kris Wong]

and then switch back to test it

[Kris Wong]

it rather sounds like a pain

[alex009]

Yes, to not switch into xcode we build own plugin. It build cocoapod from gradle, generate def file and do cinterop

[Kris Wong]

so, your plugin does or does not require using Xcode to build the project?

[alex009]

It require xcodeproj with pods, not require open xcode manually

[Kris Wong]

interesting

[Kris Wong]

well that seems like reasonable compromise

[Kris Wong]

thanks, i'll check it out!

got this working
