Help to get localization to work on iOS

[mediavrog]

Hi, I setup the library according to the documentation in version 0.9.0 and kotlin 1.3.70.

Now on Android, everything works as expected and I can localize my strings. On iOS though, only the translation key is displayed.

shared lib build.gradle.kts

kotlin {
    //select iOS target platform depending on the Xcode environment variables
    val iOSTarget: (String, KotlinNativeTarget.() -> Unit) -> KotlinNativeTarget =
        if (System.getenv("SDK_NAME")?.startsWith("iphoneos") == true)
            ::iosArm64
        else
            ::iosX64

    iOSTarget("ios") {
        binaries {
            framework {
                baseName = "MyLibShared"
                export("dev.icerock.moko:resources:${Versions.Libs.MultiPlatform.mokoResources}")
            }
        }
    }
}
...
multiplatformResources {
    multiplatformResourcesPackage = "jp.mylib.shared"
}

I verified the framework is correctly created and contains the localized files:

I tried a coupl of approaches to get the string:

// in swift; does not work
Localizer().getMyString().localized() // displays "my_string"
// shared code in iosMain: Localizer object: fun getMyString(): StringDesc = StringDesc.Resource(MR.strings.my_string)

// in swift; does not work; unresolved StringDesc
StringDesc.Resource(MR.strings.my_string).localize()

// in swift; this works though, so the files are loaded
NSLocalizedString("my_string", tableName: nil, bundle: Bundle(identifier: "jp.mylib.shared.MyLibShared")!, value: "", comment: "") // displays "My String!"

Do you have an idea on what the issue could be? Any pointer?

hello! thanks for feedback!

in your case you not properly configure export of library. Kotlin/Native require use in export function platform artifact. so you should use
export("dev.icerock.moko:resources-iosx64:${Versions.Libs.MultiPlatform.mokoResources}") on x64 and
export("dev.icerock.moko:resources-iosarm64:${Versions.Libs.MultiPlatform.mokoResources}") on Arm64

Thank you for your quick reply. It worked like a charm!

Edit: For those looking for a copyandpaste solution

val libType = when(target.preset?.name) {
  "iosArm64" -> "-iosarm64"
  "iosX64" -> "-iosx64"
  else -> ""
}           
export("dev.icerock.moko:resources${libType}:${Versions.Libs.MultiPlatform.mokoResources}")
