Can’t you use `platform` code in the `iosMain` sourceSet that gets generated by adding the `ios()` target? If you can’t, why does it generates it anyway?

This new `ios()` target doesn’t seem to be documented actually

i don't see `ios` in `KotlinTargetContainerWithPresetFunctions`

It’s in `KotlinTargetContainerWithNativeShortcuts.kt`

It creates `iosArm64`  and `iosX64` targets and sourcesets

And an additional `iosMain` sourceSet which seems useless as IDEA doesn’t see `platform`

Or maybe it’s just IDEA being wonky as usual

it's IDEA. i have had similar issues with it not handling the source sets propertly

You can try this one: <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3PQML5NU/p1574413570160400>

i see the ios function, but I don't see where it creates an additional `iosMain`

I had to name one of my iOS tagerts as "ios" in order for IDEA to work properly

then I just added a dependency on `iosMain` to my other iOS source sets

<@UJRUJP0F9> thanks, that worked :slightly_smiling_face:

<@UGCM6H67J> I think this is exactly what this new `ios()` shortcut is supposed to do: prevent you from having to do stuff to have proper ios targets. Previously I used symlinks

i don't it doing that anywhere in its code path

interesting that the new flag worked, though

```    fun ios(
        namePrefix: String = "ios",
        configure: KotlinNativeTarget.() -&gt; Unit = {}
    ) {
        val targets = listOf(
            iosArm64("${namePrefix}Arm64"),
            iosX64("${namePrefix}X64")
        )
        createIntermediateSourceSets(namePrefix, targets.defaultSourceSets(), mostCommonSourceSets())
        targets.forEach { it.configure() }
    }```

The new gradle flag is picked up by the IDE (and Gradle too, for publication)
