KClass for Objective-C classes is not supported yet

[mustafaozhan]

Describe the bug Creating this bug since this one is actually not resolved: https://github.com/InsertKoinIO/koin/issues/1016

So the issue is currently we are not able to inject Objective-C classes directly that's why I use a wrapper class to hold Objective-C class inside. (In the example it is UserDefaults)

If I try below app runs with no problem

data class NativeDependencyWrapper(val userDefaults: NSUserDefaults)

internal actual val settingsModule = module {
    single<Settings> {
        AppleSettings(get<NativeDependencyWrapper>().userDefaults)
    }
}

internal fun getIOSModule(userDefaults: NSUserDefaults) = module {
    single { NativeDependencyWrapper(userDefaults) }
}

But expected behaviour should be like below, we shouldn't need this extra wrapper:

internal actual val settingsModule = module {
    single<Settings> { AppleSettings(get()) }
}

internal fun getIOSModule(userDefaults: NSUserDefaults) = module {
    single { userDefaults }
}

Here is a PR that I remove this wrapper class: https://github.com/Oztechan/CCC/pull/1525/files so it can be used as reproducer

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Run the ios app in mentioned PR branch, after the app starts running it will crash with this log

Function doesn't have or inherit @Throws annotation and thus exception isn't propagated from Kotlin to Objective-C/Swift as NSError.
It is considered unexpected and unhandled instead. Program will be terminated.

Expected behavior App should run

Koin project used and used version (please complete the following information): koin-core version 3.3.0, 3.3.2

[arnaudgiuliani]

did you tried latest Koin in 3.3.2?

[mustafaozhan]

@arnaudgiuliani just tried and yes it still give the same error

[csanfilippo]

I confirm what @mustafaozhan is reporting. My project is using Koin core 3.3.2

[arnaudgiuliani]

I need to continue investigating. The more I an gather sample, the more I can test this 🤔

Seems a limitation of Kotlin/native with reified type as I. can see.

[mustafaozhan]

@arnaudgiuliani Yeap sure take your time 🙂 as for the sample you can try running my app in this branch https://github.com/Oztechan/CCC/tree/1524-Remove_NativeDependencyWrapper

The app has submodules, so you need to clone them too and the crash is runtime, so you need to run the iOS app in order to get the crash. README.md has both How to clone and How to run > iOS sections, located here: https://github.com/Oztechan/CCC#readme

[arnaudgiuliani]

Great, thanks for your help.

[arnaudgiuliani]

Rescheduling it for new core release 👍

[arnaudgiuliani]

Still stuck due to Kotlin native limitations. Operations are not allowed on KClass/ObjC: "KClass for Objective-C classes is not supported yet"

I've tried to hack around definition ObjCObject type also, nothing great. Will ask Jetbrains about some clues on it.

[arnaudgiuliani]

Looking for a solution around. Let's keep an eye for Koin 3.5 on it

[arnaudgiuliani]

still waiting for some updates

I have the same problem with Koin 3.5.3, as a workaround for a singleton I used an object as dependency provider for my Objective-C wrapper
