Simplified Swift Multiplatform Integration

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Shows how to access Swift-only Apple APIs by wrapping Swift in an Objective‑C API and pulling it into Kotlin Multiplatform via a CocoaPods plugin, using @objc on NSObjects and Gradle to emit a podspec. Demonstrates a logging library (two public methods, unified logging via iOS 14) that initially fails linkage but runs after a linker-flag workaround, and a tiny Kotlin calculator built as an XCFramework and consumed by Swift using Swift Package Manager, all verified working.
