If the native artifact of a multiplatform library is published as

klib

, is there a way for the consumer to transform it into a

framework

? Or does it have to be published as a

framework

?

You would just create an mpp module, define an iOS target and tell it to use the dependency. I believe it has to be api rather than implementation in order to export it to your Swift/ObjC code. One can also just publish a framework but there is a caveat. Currently only one Kotlin framework can be included into an app at a time. For this reason, the common pattern is to make an umbrella framework that has all klib dependencies.

Makes sense, thanks!
