Bundling resources with Swift Package

[surajsau]

Trying to publish a module with shared string resource over moko-resources. Internally moko-resources generates Resource files for iOS. However, upon running on device it throws Uncaught Kotlin exception: kotlin.IllegalArgumentException: bundle with identifier xx.xx.MR not found.

Moko resources suggest adding a command to copy over resources in build phase.

Would be nice to add resources field also added in Package.swift when doing spmDevBuild (Bundling resources with Swift Package)

Is this an issue just for local builds with spmDevBuild, or also for binary builds? Can toggling between static and dynamic frameworks help?

[surajsau]

I haven't tried it on binary builds but the issue was there for spmDevBuild.

We have other priorities at the moment so probably won't get to this soon. But it should be possible to grab the updatePackageSwift task, call doLast {} or similar, and make edits manually.

Just to be clear here, I think all that needs to happen is that there needs to be a way to bundle some resource files into the generated package. The command that copies them over in a monorepo build is just copying the contents of a directory into the target. That consists of some .lproj directories with Strings files, an Assests.xcassets directory and a files directory

Bubbling back up. KMMBridge is getting some refactor attention now, and this seems like something that should be included.
ETA, however, need to dig into it.
