SDK Setup Instructions

I have managed to setup my multiplatform project with this library for Android with no issues and it works great so far! However, iOS is giving me the following error when I try to build the app

ld: framework not found FirebaseFirestore

which I believe is similar to some of the other issues I’ve seen in this repo.

Would it be possible to include working setup instructions for iOS?

My setup for Android is exactly the same as the usual Firebase guide so I imagine iOS would be the same but I’m probably missing an important step somewhere in between. I should also mention that I have a multi-module project and Firebase is setup as a standalone module to be linked to the rest of the app.

Thanks very much for building the SDK and I’m hoping to have iOS working the same way as Android 🙏

When I set the framework to static the linker issue goes away.

kotlin {
    android()

    listOf(
        iosX64(),
        iosArm64(),
        iosSimulatorArm64()
    ).forEach {
        it.binaries.framework {
            baseName = "AppShared"
            isStatic = true
        }
    }

    sourceSets {
        ...
    }

WOW THIS THREAD IS A LIFE SAVER.

Thanks a bunch @suntrix and @gchristov for finding the fix and posting it here!

I think we should definitely get this stuff added to the README as it is essential to get the project working and googling for the errors this solves leads to old posts with answers that didn’t work for me.
