how should i be configuring my build script to use generics

Question

how should i be configuring my build script to use generics i tried following the documentation and digging into the PR that added generics support but i don t know if i m doing it right ```tasks withType lt org jetbrains kotlin gradle dsl KotlinCommonCompile gt kotlinOptions freeCompilerArgs = listOf Xobjc generics ```

Ryan Simon · Answer

I tried setting it up with the ```kotlin ios binaries framework freeCompilerArgs = freeCompilerArgs + Xobjc generics ``` And that was complaining about the name being the same

Kris Wong · Answer

```freeCompilerArgs add Xobjc generics ```

Ryan Simon · Answer

< Kris Wong> huh okay and where do I add that in my build file

Kris Wong · Answer

in your framework binary s config block

Ryan Simon · Answer

< Kris Wong> I hate to be that guy but do you happen to have an example of what that looks like I m super noob on configuring KMP Thanks for your help

Kris Wong · Answer

your second example is what I am talking about

Ryan Simon · Answer

< Kris Wong> ah gotcha i get this error when i try it ```freeCompilerArgs add Xobjc generics ^ Unresolved reference None of the following candidates is applicable because of receiver type mismatch public inline fun DependencyHandler add configuration String dependencyNotation String dependencyConfiguration ExternalModuleDependency gt Unit ```

Ryan Simon · Answer

i think that the `freeCompilerArgs` at that point is a non mutable `List`

Ryan Simon · Answer

```ios binaries framework freeCompilerArgs add Xobjc generics ```

Kris Wong · Answer

ah then += operator should do the trick

Ryan Simon · Answer

right okay then it looks like this ```ios binaries framework Generics freeCompilerArgs = freeCompilerArgs + Xobjc generics ```

Ryan Simon · Answer

i had to add the Generics name otherwise it wouldn t build

Kris Wong · Answer

that s a problem because it s going to create 2 different frameworks

Kris Wong · Answer

are you using the cocoapods plugin

Ryan Simon · Answer

Yeah I am

Ryan Simon · Answer

looks like this < Kris Wong> ```cocoapods summary = Common library for the KaMP starter kit homepage = ```

Kris Wong · Answer

then you need to modify the framework it creates for you rather than creating a new one

Ryan Simon · Answer

ohhh how does one do that open mouth

Ryan Simon · Answer

I looked through the docs for the plug in but couldn t find anything on how to configure it < Kris Wong>

Kris Wong · Answer

Kris Wong · Answer

alternatively you could use tasks withType lt KotlinNativeLink gt configureEach

Ryan Simon · Answer

huh okay thanks for your help much appreciated i ve been studying the kotlinconf gradle build file looks like that might be a good option too <https github com JetBrains kotlinconf app blob master common build gradle kts>

Kris Wong · Answer

looks like there s a bunch of ways

Ryan Simon · Answer

yeah

Ryan Simon · Answer

< Kris Wong> this worked for me and solved for my generics issue

Ryan Simon · Answer

```tasks withType lt org jetbrains kotlin gradle tasks KotlinNativeLink gt configureEach this binary freeCompilerArgs += Xobjc generics ```

Kris Wong · Answer

technically replace binary with kotlinOptions

Kris Wong · Answer

that s basically going link task gt binary gt link task gt kotlinOptions gt freeCompilerArgs

Kris Wong · Answer

not a big deal

Ryan Simon · Answer

ah cool good to know
