Hello guys, I’m trying to share some code between Android and iOS apps and my final goal is to have a completely detached kotlin project in a different repository that could generate a jar for android and a framework for iOS. Is there a way to do that currently with kotlin multiplatform/native? (the sample projects are all very coupled)

[thevery]

Yes it is, we create aar for Android and zip with framework for iOS and upload them to internal maven repo

[tulio]

Great @thevery! Do you have a sample or article explaining how to setup something like that?

[thevery]

I can probably contribute android part into https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-mpp-example but iOS depends on your final project anyway

I am looking do the exact same - output lib and framework. @thevery what do you mean above when you say “iOS depends on your final project”?

[thevery]

@tylerwilson it is super easy to add maven aar dependency to gradle and not so easy to add framework on iOS (there are many ways to do this)

[tylerwilson]

I see. I figured putting it up in a local repo as a binary cocoapod would be simplest for us. I thought you were suggesting that the framework would have to have some knowledge of the app it is used in.

We use the same maven as for android and store pod file in main project repo, but lookingfor some better solution as well
