How to add custom Swift files before building the framework?

I need to add some custom Swift files to the XCFramework.

Hi! There is currently no officially supported way to add custom Swift files. The good news is that this feature is on our near-term roadmap and that there is a workaround.

SKIE bundles all Swift files that are located in a certain directory (build/skie/$FRAMEWORK_DEPENDENT_PATH/swift). Therefore, you can write a Gradle task that will copy over your Swift files to this directory.

This "feature" is undocumented and not guaranteed to be stable. However, We do not plan to change this behavior in a significant way - at least until we have official support for this use case.

I found out that if you add custom files to "src/iosMain/swift/..", they are merged before building the framework.

Yes, this is a partial implementation of the official support. You can use that as well - In your case, it might be the easier solution, and it's implemented based on what I described above.

For generated code, it's generally better to generate it directly into this directory.
