Is there an updated guide on how to use an objective c framework (such as AFNetworking) in kotlin native using the kotlin-platform-native plugin? The closest thing I could find was this issue: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/issues/1764 but it’s using konan

I’ve been trying for a while but I keep getting error:

ld: framework not found xxxxx

This is what we have in our gradle file:

components.main{
    dependencies{
        cinterop('Framework'){
            def productsDir = new File("Framework").absolutePath
            compilerOpts "-F${productsDir}"
            linkerOpts "-F${productsDir}"
            includeDirs "${productsDir}/Framework.framework/Headers"
        }
    }
}

add extraOpts "-linker-options", "-F${productsDir}" to the compilations.main block.

This is how I'm building AFNetworking(note, I don't use cocoapods).
Deffile:

language = Objective-C
headers = AFURLSessionManager.h AFURLResponseSerialization.h AFHTTPSessionManager.h
compilerOpts = -framework AFNetworking
linkerOpts = -framework AFNetworking

You can add more headers as you see fit. I only needed those three in my project.
Gradle:

components.main {

    def productsDir = new File("").absolutePath

    targets = ['ios_arm64', 'ios_x64']
    outputKinds = [EXECUTABLE]

    allTargets {
        linkerOpts '-rpath', '@executable_path/Frameworks'
        linkerOpts "-F${productsDir}"
    }

    dependencies {
        cinterop('AFNetworking'){
            packageName 'com.afnetworking'
            compilerOpts "-F${productsDir}"
            linkerOpts "-F${productsDir}"
            includeDirs{
                allHeaders "${productsDir}/AFNetworking.framework/Headers"
            }
        }
    }
}

Thankyou! This worked
