How to setup the project dependencies for platform specific

Question

How to setup the project dependencies for platform specific code When I `import platform Foundation ` IDEA said `cant resolve platform` I think maybe it s because I have not setup the `dependencies` in the `build gradle` But can t find them in the `kotlin conf` and KN `samples` either I can t get the auto completion there but at least they seem to resolve the kotlin native libs without problem Basically the same `build gradle` Anything I missed here

Hmm I don t think that Idea supports platform frameworks the only supported IDE is CLion for now

joy

gildor · Answer

Can you build it from console gradle

albertgao · Answer

< gildor> I can t disappointed

gildor · Answer

Because of platform import

albertgao · Answer

Yes Can t resolve the `platform`

albertgao · Answer

If I just work with the raw kotllin std api the iOS framework could be built flawlessly But not when using the `platform ` Because it can t resolve the dependencies of `platform`

gildor · Answer

Do you use `import platform Foundation` only in K N sources

albertgao · Answer

Yes

albertgao · Answer

And no auto complete in Clion either At least for Kotlincof and kotlin native samples And build will have error But not this can t resolve but a path error `warning directory not found for option F Users albertgao Library Developer Xcode DerivedData konan eagojejctmwfaofzoiynfjarikts Build Products Debug iphoneos ld framework not found helperlib error linker invocation reported errors`

do you use git tree or redistributable are platform libs built at all in the first case Think if you will use IDEA gradle support running K N gradle build shall be possible What kind of problem do you have

albertgao · Answer

< olonho> Thanks for the reply I setup this project via gradle This is my `build gradle` Via this settings I could generate iOS framework and consumes from the Swift side without any problem But the limitation is that I could only use API which resides in kotlin std lib Today I want to implement some library which using kotlin native api something like `platform Foundation ` But via this settings I don t know how to add project dependencies for kotlin native lib Such that 1 IDEA can t resolve the `platform Foundation ` API no auto completion 2 Gradle can t build because it can t resolve the `platform Foundation ` as well

olonho · Answer

1 is expected 2 is not if platform libraries are available Make sure you did `gradlew bundle` if you use your own build of Kotlin Native

albertgao · Answer

Thanks After I ran that `bundle` command it will generate a file named `kotlin native macos 0 5 tar gz` How to use that I currently created a project which is not inside the `kotlin native repo samples` folder Is it possible I saw there is a `buildSamplesWithPlatformLibs` in the KN repo but it s just some `dependsOn` don t how to use that bundle file Any hints

olonho · Answer

you may want to use composite build like is being done in samples
