Unresolved reference: string in the generated MR.kt

[saravr]

I created a minimal multiplatform library (for Android and iOS) but ran into the error ...shared/build/generated/moko/androidMain/src/com/example/mokotest/MR.kt: (16, 68): Unresolved reference: string for the command ./gradlew assemble.

I followed the README up until executing ./gradlew generateMRcommonMain.

My sample repo is at https://github.com/saravr/MokoTest.

All I need is to define string resources that are defined in commonMain and used in Android and iOS code in the shared module. Android Gradle Plugin version is 7.3.1 and Kotlin version is 1.7.20. What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.

Including shared gradle file:

import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.apple.XCFramework

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform")
    kotlin("native.cocoapods")
    id("com.android.library")
    id("dev.icerock.mobile.multiplatform-resources")
}

group = "com.example"
version = "1.0.0"

kotlin {
    val xcf = XCFramework()

    android()
    iosX64()
    iosArm64()
    iosSimulatorArm64 {
        binaries.framework {
            baseName = "shared"
            xcf.add(this)
        }
    }

    cocoapods {
        summary = "Some description for the Shared Module"
        homepage = "Link to the Shared Module homepage"
        version = "1.0"
        ios.deploymentTarget = "14.1"
        framework {
            baseName = "shared"
        }
    }
    
    sourceSets {
        val commonMain by getting
        val commonTest by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(kotlin("test"))
            }
        }
        val androidMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                api("dev.icerock.moko:resources-compose:0.20.1")
            }
        }
        val androidTest by getting
        val iosX64Main by getting
        val iosArm64Main by getting
        val iosSimulatorArm64Main by getting
        val iosMain by creating {
            dependsOn(commonMain)
            iosX64Main.dependsOn(this)
            iosArm64Main.dependsOn(this)
            iosSimulatorArm64Main.dependsOn(this)
        }
        val iosX64Test by getting
        val iosArm64Test by getting
        val iosSimulatorArm64Test by getting
        val iosTest by creating {
            dependsOn(commonTest)
            iosX64Test.dependsOn(this)
            iosArm64Test.dependsOn(this)
            iosSimulatorArm64Test.dependsOn(this)
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    commonMainApi("dev.icerock.moko:resources:0.20.1")
}

multiplatformResources {
    multiplatformResourcesPackage = "com.example.mokotest" // required
}

android {
    namespace = "com.example.mokotest"
    compileSdk = 32
    defaultConfig {
        minSdk = 23
        targetSdk = 32
    }
}

hi!
Android Gradle Plugin 7.3.0 have issue with resources dir that we use.
as workaround you can use android 7.2.2 or #353 (comment)
in AGP 7.4.0 issue should be fixed https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/255784699

[Alex009]

we try to fix issue inside our plugin, but at now we not resolve this yet

Thanks. Actually all I needed was the addition mentioned in the comment. It worked even with existing AGP 7.3.1. Thanks for the pointer!

I think this problem still exists in the final agp 7.4.0

android {
    sourceSets["main"].res.srcDir(File(buildDir, "generated/moko/androidMain/res"))
}
