I have followed the Kotlin documentation for adding iOS dependencies. In my case the dependency is a pre-compiled framework provided through a third party. So I have followed the case for framework without cocoapod.
I placed my MyFramework.def file in /src
language = Objective-C
modules = MyFramework
package = MyFramework
Then I added the following to the build.gradle.kts in the Kotlin object ```
ios {
binaries {
framework {
baseName = "shared"
}
}
}
iosArm64() {
compilations.getByName("main") {
val JWBLe by cinterops.creating {
// Path to .def file
defFile("src/nativeInterop/cinterop/MyFramework.def")
compilerOpts("-framework", "MyFramework", "-F/Users/user/Projects/MyFramework/ios/SDK")
}
}
binaries.all {
// Tell the linker where the framework is located.
linkerOpts("-framework", "MyFramework", "-F/Users/user/Projects/MyFramework/ios/SDK")
}
}
sourceSets {
val commonMain by getting
val commonTest by getting {
dependencies {
implementation(kotlin("test-common"))
implementation(kotlin("test-annotations-common"))
}
}
val androidMain by getting {
dependencies {
implementation("com.google.android.material:material:1.2.1")
}
}
val androidTest by getting {
dependencies {
implementation(kotlin("test-junit"))
implementation("junit:junit:4.13")
}
}
val iosMain by getting
val iosTest by getting
}
Then I build the project. The library does indeed get seen and I see that in External Libraries, there is a shared-cinterop-MyFramework.klib
However, when I try to import this package into my code under src/iosMain/kotlin/com.example.testapp.shared/platform.kt
I get unresolved error for the library. It seems like I should also need to add something to sourceSets? But I am unsure.
First of all, I got to notice that the Gradle script is incorrect. In this case, the iosArm64
target was declared twice - by the target shortcut and once again where you configure the cinterop. To avoid this duplication, it would be better to configure cinterop like that:
ios()
val iosArm = targets.getByName("iosArm64") as org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.KotlinNativeTarget
// A bit dirty cast, but as I'm sure iosArm64 is the Native target, it should be fine. Needed to make highlighting below work as expected.
iosArm.apply {
compilations.getByName("main") {
val JWBLe by cinterops.creating {
// Path to .def file
defFile("src/nativeInterop/cinterop/MyFramework.def")
compilerOpts("-framework", "MyFramework", "-F/Users/user/Projects/MyFramework/ios/SDK")
}
}
binaries.all {
// Tell the linker where the framework is located.
linkerOpts("-framework", "MyFramework", "-F/Users/user/Projects/MyFramework/ios/SDK")
}
}
However, this adjustment won't help with accessing cinterop bindings from the iosMain
. In the current state of commonizer, it can share only platform libraries. So anyway, moving all code utilizing those bindings into the src/iosArm64Main
folder is the best option available at the moment. Here go an issue from the official tracker to upvote and subscribe - Support commonization of user-defined libraries.
