Discussion on: Maximizing Code Sharing between Android and iOS with Kotlin Multiplatform

View post

Hi Kurt!
Thank for this article, I have a question. In the android studio, how can we turn on autocomplete code when writing code inside package iosMain?

Hi! Autocomplete works for me out of the box but if you're using libraries from cocoapods then you have to build the project first on Xcode.

Currently, I just using the sample project without cocoapods but android studio no turn on code suggestion and autocomplete. Example "dispatch_get_main_queue" and "dispatch_async". is it need another plugin?

How are you configuring your native targets?

Lương Công Hải • Feb 26 '20

this is my config

targets {
    fromPreset(presets.jvm, "jvm")

    fromPreset(presets.iosX64, "ios_x86_64")
    fromPreset(presets.iosArm64, "ios_arm64")
    configure([ios_x86_64, ios_arm64]) {
        compilations.main.outputKinds("FRAMEWORK")
    }
}

I following from github link github.com/adrianbukros/github-mul...

Sorry for the delayed response. With your configuration, you're having two native source sets, ios_x86_64Main and ios_arm64Main. Autocomplete should work for both of those. However, I looked at the repo you linked and it's creating a common source set for both of those so you can code it iniosMain`. I'm afraid there's still an issue with this.

If you are using cocoapods for your native targets, you can do a switching mechanism like they do here

`kotlin

val iOSTarget: (String, KotlinNativeTarget.() -> Unit) -> KotlinNativeTarget =
    if (System.getenv("SDK_NAME")?.startsWith("iphoneos") == true)
        ::iosArm64
    else
        ::iosX64

iOSTarget("ios") {
    binaries {
        framework {
            baseName = "SharedCode"
        }
    }
}

If you're not using cocoapods, you can enable this flag in your gradle.properties.

kotlin.mpp.enableGranularSourceSetsMetadata=true
