Question

is there any current documentation about how to set up an mpp nowadays <https kotlinlang org docs reference building mpp with gradle html> seems to be pretty putdated

I would love to see the project templates in IntelliJ AppCode etc updated to the latest approved way to set up MPP projects But not just the trivial one but with at least one third party dependency like ktor or serialzation so that we can see the construction of dependencies and with tests enabled for all platforms And if targeting iOS using the built in cocoapods feature I still see so many uses of the old manual framework approach

Andy Gibel · Answer

+1 for the cocoapods approach It seems to be rare

Why doesn t kotlin mpp hands on <https play kotlinlang org hands on Targeting 20iOS 20and 20Android 20with 20Kotlin 20Multiplatform 01 Introduction> ios android show how to use android platform specific libraries e g `android os ` The way is made I can use only jvm libraries cause it s not an android library

Fabio Bombardi · Answer

< Dave> I ve tried the template you said but It doesn t seem to add cocoapods setup in build gradle and there s no podfile in iosApp folder I m also trying to have a standard template of kotlin mpp to share code between android and ios but still I cannot find one And I still see many projects using groovy and not kotlin dsl for kotlin mpp module

Andy Gibel · Answer

< Fabio Bombardi> check out moko template It s nonstandard in that it uses their plugin but still helpful Not sure if they updated to 1 3 60 yet < CMC5LN42W|moko>

Fabio Bombardi · Answer

Hey < Dave> do you know what I ve tried IntelliJ Ultimate 2 4 your same version trial but using `Mobile Android iOS` template I still see a template without cocoapods gradle task Maybe do you have an additional plugin Anyway I ve found my simplest template by wrapping the one from hands on with android gradle all with kotlin dsl ` kts` gradle files Its enough for me now even without cocoapods I m just curious how come you see a totally different tamplate
