After upgrading project from 1.3.31 (Konan, lipo linking) to 1.3.50 (MPP, fatframework task), tests stop working with error:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'Only one Kotlin framework can be loaded currently'
*** First throw call stack:

Any suggestion how to fix it? App runs fine, only tests are failing. And tests were working before without any problem.

ios app is separate project using cocoapods. If I build only for arm64, it show same error.

Likely your app ends up having two Kotlin frameworks linked in, which is not yet supported.

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

Only my lib is the kotlin fw in the project. And when I use older version of my lib, tests works. I suspect that there is some differences in fatframework task vs manual lipo.

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

so with konan, library was dynamically linked. With fat framework it is statically linked. +some bad configuration in our ios project podfile.

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

@olonho How do I build dynamic one (kotlin mpp)? Are there are some gradle configuration example?

[Kris Wong]

i use a fat framework in my iOS app and it works with no issues

So, you were using cocoapods with 1.3.31, and the only difference is in the FatFrameworkTask? If so, you can somehow specify isStatic parameter for every native target with a binary of “framework” type e.g.

kotlin {
    targets.withType<KotlinNativeTarget> {
        binaries.withType<Framework> {
            isStatic = false
        }
    }
}

i am not using cocoapods. the default for a framework target is to be dynamic.

[Kris Wong]

the typical way i see to configure is:

targets {
        configure([ios, iosArm32, iosArm64]) {
            binaries.framework {
                baseName = "$ios_framework_name"
            }
        }
    }

@Artyom Degtyarev [JB] We used 1.3.31 and Konan task and manual lipo linking. Now we using 1.3.50 and MPP structure and FatFramework task.

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

When i use "file build/fat-framework/MyFw.framework/MyFw", it output:

Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:current ar archive random library] [arm64]
(for architecture x86_64):	current ar archive random library
(for architecture arm64):	current ar archive random library

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

When they linked dynamically, output is:
Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64] [arm64]
(for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
(for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library arm64

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

Can you share your gradle script? I cannot reproduce this result by myself, but this is not how everything was supposed to work.
