Is it normal that I can't use cocoapods on iOS in a mpp? I tried some pods just for testing purpose but I always get ld: framework not found _podname_ (I'm using the xcworkspace)

not mpp but https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0BJ0GTE2/p1538495671000100

isn't this about compiling a gradle module + a cocoa pod? I need to import pods in my project, not export my project as a pod (or maybe I'm not understanding well).

Yeah, the Github project is more about publishing the library to Cocoapods. For using cocoapods in the iOS specific code you’ll need to generate the Kotlin-ObjC/Swift bindings manually. Check out the documentation from Jetbrains: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/INTEROP.md

Our Github project(the one linked above) contains a very basic ‘string_interop’ sample in library/ios/build.gradle and library/ios/src/main/c_interop. It doesn’t use Cocoapods as a source, but it might help you to get started with generating the bindings.

wait, isn't this only to use objc classes on the K/N code? I just need to use pods on swift, like the normal usage. No need to use them on the kotlin code
