Export Dependencies To Kotlin

How It works

On completion with using external dependencies, it's possible to export them to your Kotlin module, if they are compatible.

Note

If your package doesn't work with the plugin, please create an issue.

Bridge Incompatible Dependencies

In a case the exported dependency is written in Swift, manual work needs to be done like this.

For example, the CryptoSwift can't work directly on Kotlin, so the Plugin's bridge is here to fill the gape between Kotlin and Swift.

Example

Gradle

The following configuration exports to Kotlin the package FirebaseAnalytics which is a ObjC library.

Don't export incompatible library

Exporting an incompatible library is useless and will only increase build time.

build.gradle.kts

swiftPackageConfig {
    create("[cinteropName]") {
        dependency {
            remotePackageVersion(
                url = uri("https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk"),
                products = {
                    add("FirebaseAnalytics", exportToKotlin = true), // exported
                    add("FirebaseCore") // non-exported
                },
                version = "11.8.0",
            )
            // Another SwiftDependency
            // ...
        )
    }
}

Bridge

iosMain/kotlin/com/example/myKotlinFile.kt

import FirebaseAnalytics.FIRConsentStatusGranted

@ExperimentalForeignApi
val consentStatusGranted = FIRConsentStatusGranted

Note

The bridge can remain empty as we don't need it; we only want to use the exported product.
