Using with regular framework

[ychescale9]

👋

I'm using :embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode to build a regular framework instead of using Cocoapods.

I can see the generated .swift sources available in build/xcode-framework/$(CONFIGURATION)/$(SDK_NAME) but I can't reference them from the iOS project. Is there anything manual process that needs to be done here?

hi! for regular framework at now i suggest next approach: add copy action to Link tasks, so after each compilation of kotlin/native all generated sources will be moved to your directory.

tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinNativeLink>().matching {
    it.binary is org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.Framework
}.configureEach {
    doLast {
        val swiftDirectory = File(destinationDir, "${binary.baseName}Swift")
        val xcodeSwiftDirectory = File(buildDir, "generated/swift")
        swiftDirectory.copyRecursively(xcodeSwiftDirectory, overwrite = true)
    }
}

and add this directory into xcode project by "add files". see my sample - https://github.com/Alex009/moko-kswift-usage-sample/tree/regular-framework and here commit with integration - https://github.com/Alex009/moko-kswift-usage-sample/commit/fc921315acb4baa06cbb6038bcd77a639cb329b0

Thanks!

@ychescale9 Sample does not compile in Apple M1 mac

Also, when I use this workaround in latest KMM template from Android Studio. destinationDir is not defined, looks like it is removed. I am not able to generate these classes. Can you please help?

Ok this works by replacing destinationDir with outputFile.get() Thanks to PR

Full snippet

tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinNativeLink>().matching {
    it.binary is org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.Framework
}.configureEach {
    doLast {
        val swiftDirectory = File("${outputFile.get()}/..", "${binary.baseName}Swift")
        val xcodeSwiftDirectory = File(buildDir, "generated/swift")
        swiftDirectory.copyRecursively(xcodeSwiftDirectory, overwrite = true)
    }
}

However, Moko classes are not being generated in case of latest XCFramework syntax

kotlinArtifacts {
        Native.XCFramework("BL") {
             targets(iosArm64)
             modes(DEBUG)
            // dynamic framework
            isStatic = false
            // disable bitcode
            embedBitcode = EmbedBitcodeMode.DISABLE
        }
    }
}
