Kotlin Cocoapods Extended

2021 Note

This project is archived. It was a fork of the "official" plugin. Originally we used it to allow static frameworks and other features, but you can do that now with the "official" plugin. We recommend moving to the Kotlin plugin instead.

2021 Note End...

This plugin is a fork of the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin's cocoapods support. Cocoapods support bundled into the KMP Gradle plugin is somewhat limited, and trying to change how that works is difficult because it is bundled with the main plugin and the main Kotlin project itself. This fork has pulled out just the Cocoapods support and changed the namespace so it won't clash.

Features

The main Cocoapods plugin configures the Xcode framework that is built, and does not support all of the configuration options available when you configure the framework manually. This means you'll get a static framework, which can't be debugged, and will prevent being able to add multiple frameworks to a single project. There has also been difficulty configuring dependencies to be included in the generated header.

Not all of this is supported now, but by forking and removing the Cocoapods plugin, it will be much easier to add features as desired.

Usage

See Releases for current version.

Add the following to the buildscript section:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'co.touchlab:kotlinnativecocoapods:0.11'
    }
}

Apply the plugin in the shared code project, and configure the plugin

plugins {
  id("co.touchlab.native.cocoapods")
}

kotlin {
    cocoapodsext {
      summary = "Common library for the KaMP starter kit"
      homepage = "https://github.com/touchlab/KaMPStarter"
      isStatic = false
    }
}
