Yesterday i was in pain with Moko resources, but not now anymore Thank for this vidéo Phil 🙏

[MarioManza]

Thank so much Philipp for this tutorial, thanks to this I was able to setup moko resources library into my project after 2 days of spending time on it.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE ERROR:
reference to member "toUIImage" cannot be resolved without a contextual type -
You must explicitly type shared.ImageResource ("shared" here is the shared module name). There are two ImageResource classes: from shared module and from ios module

I had a problem with moko once. They have made a fantastic library but I needed to update the version and it was such a pain, everything was crashing. And the point is, resources is such a wide spread functionality. I suggest to at least make an adapter pattern for shared resources, so that it would be at least easier to switch it if this doesn't work out for you anymore

Hey Philipp, great video, you strike it where it really matters, let's put as much as possible in the shared dir.

Also, since it can be done with JPG-s, how does iOS understand the SVG (vector drawables) of Android? How can we use it on iOS as well? A sequel for this video would be one discussing those SVG-s ;)

I am using Compose Multiplatform with a shared UI codebase, so since the actual Android function needs context, this will not work.

[LeonardoMorales]

Excellent explanation, thanks for sharing

[oyacanl]

Thank you! But unfortunately it is not working on iOS (or not working anymore). Even when I clone your sample, it doesn't work on XCode. I think it also needs a run script addition in the XCode build phase. (I am getting an error like "PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code)

[roshkaalex]

Good job! I am waiting for a video with pagination 😊 And kmm flow :). And one viewmodel for android and ios :))

[pavelshelkovenko]

[chetandobariya]
