I notice when using the cocoapod plugin, I need to delete the build directory in my mpp project any time I switch ABIs (device/sim). is that expected?

Are you using the podspec wrapper?

[Kris Wong]

i am using the podspec that was generated

[pardom]

In order to avoid compatibility issues during an Xcode build, the plugin requires using a Gradle wrapper. To generate the wrapper automatically during execution of the podspec task, run it with the parameter -Pkotlin.native.cocoapods.generate.wrapper=true.

[Kris Wong]

i have the gradle wrapper committed to my source repo, like an android project

[Kris Wong]

it's the same wrapper?

[pardom]

Nope

[Kris Wong]

interesting

[Kris Wong]

i wonder why the plugin doesn't include that if it's necessary

[Kris Wong]

sure seems like the same gradle wrapper

[pardom]

Hmm maybe I misinterpreted that section.

Yes, it's the same wrapper generated by Gradle.

No, it isn't expected. What happens if you don't delete the build directory?

[Kris Wong]

then the .klib won't be regenerated for the new ABI

[Kris Wong]

and it gets skipped during linking

[ilya.matveev]

I cannot reproduce this behaviour. Could you share a link to your project?

[Kris Wong]

unfortunately this is proprietary code

i can try to get some logs for you if there's a certain command I can run

You can add the --debug flag to the Gradle command in the generated podspec. It enables verbose logging for the Gradle build started from Xcode.
