Hey everyone
So I'm working on a KMP project where the ios module is set up to use cocoapods
But this is causing SwiftUI's preview to fail (i.e. the app runs fine, but I'm not able to see previews in XCode)

It gives the following error:

linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

----------------------------------------

LinkDylibError: Failed to build ContentView.swift

Linking failed: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I found a GitHub issue that matches what I'm trying to say: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/issues/3059

In this issue, they talk about making isStatic = false in the shared build.gradle.kts
But if I do that, neither the app works nor the previews

When trying to see the preview, XCode shows this error:

ios crashed because shared.framework is missing

dyld_sim [
        Library not loaded: @rpath/shared.framework/shared

And when trying to run the app, it crashes while giving the following error:
