I manage to create an ios framework file and manually include it in my ios app but that quite time consuming, is there a way of automatically update the xcode project eachtime a new framework is build? Or something similar to a maven repo from the java world? I tried to use cocoapod but it does not work properly, I get a lot of errors

Hi, <@U011SJK5N7R>! There are two most popular approaches. The first one is using the cocoapods plugin(as described in the <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/native/cocoapods.html|documentation>). Another option is to write a Gradle task packing the framework somewhere Xcode project will find it, and then execute this task from the Xcode(as a custom Run Script Build phase). An example of this can be found at the official <https://github.com/Kotlin/kmm-sample/blob/master/shared/build.gradle.kts|kmm-sample>(Also available at the Android Studio as KMM Application option when you create a new proejct).
What was the problem you faced with cocoapods?

I’m reporting what ios guys told me, one of the main issue with cocoapod dependency was this `/Users/teamcity/buildAgent/work/f01984a9f5203417/runtime/src/main/cpp/ObjCExport.mm:346: runtime assert: Unable to add 'toKotlin:' method to NSBlock class`

another problem regarding the task itself is that we had to create one for ios targets and one for tvos targets. Is there a way to condense everything in one check ? I mean on this lines in the task :
```val sdkName = System.getenv("SDK_NAME") ?: "iphonesimulator"
val targetName = "ios" + if (sdkName.startsWith("iphoneos")) "Arm64" else "X64"```
ideally we would need something that check for one of `iosArm64` or `iosX64` or `tvosArm64` or `tvosX64`

Seems similar to <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3SGXARS6/p1593807054139000> and <https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/1786#issuecomment-613941124>. Maybe there was something with `build/` dir being corrupted, worth filing n issue with a project to play with

About 4 targets. I would guess it can be derived from `SDK_NAME` envvar contents, just don’t know how it looks for the tvOS.

The problem is how to differentiate for simulator, since it will be empty for both. Or use two task like we have done :confused:

Hi <@U011SJK5N7R>, have you looked into Swift Package Manager and XCFrameworks? I made a Gradle plugin that helps generating both
