# Bringing up the iOS target
What it takes to build and run Mantra on an iPhone, phased, following the route
the Curated fork already walked. Every one of its findings is diagnosed and
reproducible here, so the work is porting a known answer rather than
re-discovering it.
The headline is that almost nothing is missing. The `iosArm64` and
`iosSimulatorArm64` targets are **already declared ** in
[composeApp/build.gradle.kts:36 ](../composeApp/build.gradle.kts ), gated behind
`OperatingSystem.current().isMacOsX` the way everything in the composite chain is;
`composeApp/src/iosMain` holds ten `actual` files that match `jvmMain` 's ten
one-for-one, so no `expect` is unimplemented; `commonMain` has no `java.*` or
`javax.*` import anywhere; quartz 1.14.0 publishes `iosArm64` and
`iosSimulatorArm64` klibs; and `iosApp/` is byte-identical to Curated's apart from
brand tokens and one icon file, Xcode build phase and all.
What stands in the way is five concrete defects, which Curated hit in the order a
build hits them — configure, compile, link, connect, sign — and fixed in eight
commits.

## Where this stands
Phases 0 to 4 are **done and on this branch ** , verified on a linux host; Phase 5
needs two decisions and an asset, and Phases 6 and 7 need a mac. Nothing below was
rewritten after the fact — each phase's text is as it was planned, with a
**Landed** note where what happened is worth knowing.
| phase | state | commit |
|---|---|---|
| 0 bootstrap and baseline | done — 1174 + 159 tests green | (no commit) |
| 1 advance the library chain | done — linux unchanged, as predicted | `a8f0e26f` , `1b8df6b4` , `dda2f95c` |
| 2 Room constructor and cancellation | done | `73b2c8ae` , `fc195832` |
| 3 unbreak the ios link tasks | done — linux half only | `d024838b` |
| 4 ktor on Darwin | done — android and jvm halves only | `e6c3c8a2` |
| 5 signing, icon, version | **not started ** — needs decisions | — |
| 6 what only a mac can find | **not started ** — needs a mac | — |
| 7 write down what it cost | in progress — this section | — |
`:composeApp:check` passes at the tip: lint, the m3 audit's ten counts, and all
three test suites — `jvmTest` 1174, `testDebugUnitTest` 563, the library's own 159.
Every count is the Phase 0 baseline, unmoved.
2026-10-02 23:37:27 +02:00
## The eight commits, and what each one is here
| Curated | what it did | how it lands here |
|---|---|---|
| `94de86a3` , `cbf23640` , `64b37447` | three gitlink bumps of `lightning-kmp-app` , carrying a secp256k1-kmp build fix | the same three bumps, verbatim — Mantra is pinned at their exact parent |
| `987df2c8` | `@ConstructedBy` , `@Throws(CancellationException)` , an unused import, `TEAM_ID` | the same, minus `TEAM_ID` , which is account-specific |
| `aa9312f0` | comma-free `commonTest` names, plus a disabled compiler phase | **rewritten ** , not cherry-picked — see Phase 3 |
| `b9140c6a` | the Darwin ktor engine | near-verbatim; the shape it assumes is the shape here |
| `bd47c841` | app icon and `MARKETING_VERSION` | needs Mantra artwork |
| `a673c85e` | `versionName` | a release decision, not a port |
## What is already done for you
**The pin lines up exactly.** Mantra records `lightning-kmp-app` at
`84cc44c855e3d173e26016b807c449153a3af597` . That is the * parent * of Curated's
`94de86a3` . The three bumps are therefore a straight walk along the same gitlinks —
`84cc44c` → `2dcd4fb` → `db15e59` → `e0d2b82` — with no rebase and no divergence
to reconcile.
**The library's own iOS gating is already right.** `lightning-kmp-app/library`
declares `iosArm64()` and `iosSimulatorArm64()` under the same `isMacOsX` guard,
and sets `kotlin.native.enableKlibsCrossCompilation=true` . Nothing in the outer
build has to teach it about apple targets.
**`commonMain` is clean, and the publish surface is small.** One `HttpClient {`
construction in the whole module
([NostrSocketClientFactory.kt:10 ](../composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/press/mantra/compose/network/sockets/NostrSocketClientFactory.kt )),
no explicit Coil `ImageLoader` anywhere, six `@Throws` annotations on the publish
path. That is the same shape Curated's fixes were written against, so Phases 2 and
4 are small and exact rather than a search.
**The audit does not look at tests.** `docs/scripts/m3-audit.sh` scans
`composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/press/mantra/compose/ui` only, so Phase 3's sweep
over test names cannot trip `./gradlew check` .
## What actually blocks it
Five things, independent of each other except for the order the build reveals them
in:
1. **The chain will not configure on a mac. ** secp256k1-kmp's `.def` declares
`staticLibraries` for every target and the cinterop tool refuses to emit a klib
while the archive is absent. Off a Linux host the Linux archives are never
built, so the IDE sync and configuration fail with `cinterop file ... does not
exist`. The fix — ` 9bcae25` in secp256k1-kmp, hardened by ` 8adf691` — stubs those
archives under `if (!currentOs.isLinux)` . Its commit subject says "linux
cinterop", which reads backwards from here: **it is the fix that makes the chain
work on a mac**, and it is a strict no-op on Linux.
2. **Room cannot construct the database on native. **
`MantraDatabaseConstructor` already exists in `commonMain` , `expect` ,
`@Suppress` ed and referenced by nothing. Without `@ConstructedBy` naming it,
Room's KSP generates no `actual` , and on a target with no reflection there is no
other way in.
3. **Swift cannot see a cancellation as a cancellation. ** Six `@Throws` sites on
the publish path name `NostrPublishException` and not
`kotlin.coroutines.cancellation.CancellationException` , so a cancelled publish
crosses the ObjC boundary as an unexpected throw.
4. **The iOS link tasks fail, twice over. ** `linkDebugTestIosArm64` is rejected by
Kotlin/Native over backticked test names containing a comma (`Name contains
illegal characters: ','`), and ` linkReleaseFrameworkIosArm64` crashes Kotlin
2.4.10's release backend inside `StaticInitializersOptimization` .
5. **Nothing secure connects on a device. ** CIO has no TLS implementation on
Kotlin/Native — every `wss://` and `https://` call dies at the handshake with
`TLS sessions are not supported on Native platform` . The relay sockets and
Coil's image fetcher both sit on a default-engine client.
Everything below is ordered by that list.
---
## Phase 0 — bootstrap, and a recorded baseline
Nothing is changed in this phase. Its output is a green build to compare against,
because four of the five defects above are invisible until a mac is in the loop and
you do not want to be guessing afterwards which failure you introduced.
**In this worktree, initialise the chain first.** Four nested submodules —
`lightning-kmp-app` → `experimental/lightning-kmp` → `experimental/bitcoin-kmp` →
`experimental/secp256k1-kmp` (→ `native/secp256k1` ) — are unpopulated, and gradle
dies early and confusingly with `Project with path ':library' not found` :
```bash
git -c protocol.file.allow=always submodule update --init --recursive
```
`protocol.file.allow=always` is required: the recorded url for `lightning-kmp-app`
is the main checkout's path, and git refuses `file` transport for submodules by
default. The last level (`native/secp256k1` , fetched from GitHub) can stall for
ten minutes or more; let the recursive call do what it can and finish that one
level from the main checkout's copy. Trust `git -C <level> rev-parse HEAD` per
level rather than `git submodule status --recursive` , which lies after a
per-level url override.
Then record the baseline:
```bash
ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk ./gradlew :composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid :composeApp:jvmTest :lightning-kmp-app:library:jvmTest
```
Note the jvmTest count and that it is green. `IdentitySwitchJvmTest` 's "last
profile opened" case fails about one run in nine on a 5s DataStore timeout on a
clean tree too — if you see exactly that, re-run before believing it.
**Deliverable:** no commit. A noted baseline.
---
## Phase 1 — advance the library chain
The three gitlink bumps, kept as three commits so each one says what it carries.
Walk the outer pin, and let the nested gitlinks come with it.
```bash
git -C lightning-kmp-app fetch https://github.com/kngako/lightning-kmp-app.git 'refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/github/*'
git -C lightning-kmp-app checkout --detach 2dcd4fbe1513421d100a4485583f167b1fdcd47c
git -c protocol.file.allow=always -C lightning-kmp-app submodule update --init --recursive
git add lightning-kmp-app && git commit
```
In a worktree the submodule's `origin` is the **main checkout's copy ** , not GitHub,
so `git fetch origin` shows nothing new — fetch the `.gitmodules` url directly, as
above. Each bump moves `experimental/lightning-kmp` too, which moves `bitcoin-kmp` ,
which moves `secp256k1-kmp` , so re-run `submodule update --init --recursive` inside
`lightning-kmp-app` after each checkout or the chain is left mid-walk.
The three, in order:
| commit | pin | what it carries |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | `2dcd4fb` | secp256k1-kmp `9bcae25` — the stub archives that let the chain configure off Linux |
| 2 | `db15e59` | the same fix merged into the `threshold` branches, so the nested gitlinks name branch tips rather than side commits |
| 3 | `e0d2b82` | secp256k1-kmp `8adf691` — registers the stub task with `tasks.register` instead of the delegate provider, which Gradle 9 requires |
Commits 2 and 3 look like bookkeeping and are not: without 3 the stub task is
never registered under a name, and without 2 the pins sit on commits that were
rebased away.
**Verify, on Linux.** The whole fix is behind `if (!currentOs.isLinux)` , so Linux
must be * unchanged * :
```bash
ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk ./gradlew :composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid :composeApp:jvmTest :lightning-kmp-app:library:jvmTest
```
Same test count, same green, as Phase 0. The library's own ~159 tests run inside
the composite build and are the thing that proves the wiring still gives it what it
expects.
**Verify, on a mac.** `./gradlew :composeApp:tasks` configures at all, and
`:composeApp:compileKotlinIosArm64` resolves `fr.acinq.phoenix:lightning-kmp-app` .
That is the phase's actual purpose.
> Suggested message, commit 1:
> `build: carry secp256k1-kmp's fix for configuring off a linux host`
> — and say in the body that the upstream subject reads the other way round.
2026-10-03 00:00:15 +02:00
**Landed** as `a8f0e26f` , `1b8df6b4` , `dda2f95c` . All five levels now sit exactly
where Curated's do: `e0d2b82` → `e5b22f5d` → `9e3c4f8` → `8adf691` → `7a35fde1` .
Two things worth knowing. First, the walk across all three bumps touches **no
Kotlin source anywhere in the chain** — the entire payload is eleven
`build.gradle.kts` and `settings.gradle.kts` files in secp256k1-kmp — so gradle
correctly reports `jvmTest UP-TO-DATE` afterwards. That reads like a stale cache
and is not one; a forced `--rerun` returns the same 1174 and 159.
Second, the bump carries four fixes beyond the stub archives, because
`a8cc3ec..8adf691` is seven commits rather than three: the `generateHeaders`
output paths (which were `generated./jni` , with a stray dot, and whose temp
directory was being cleared with a `delete()` that silently does nothing on a
non-empty directory), Gradle 10's removal of the delegated-property DSL, `Project`
objects passed as dependency notation, and `compileSdk 35` → `36` in
secp256k1-kmp's `jni/android` . The last of those is the only one that can touch an
android build here, and it is below Mantra's own 37.
2026-10-02 23:37:27 +02:00
---
## Phase 2 — declare the Room constructor and cancellation to Swift
Four small edits, one commit. All of it compiles on Linux.
**`@ConstructedBy` .** Add the import and the annotation above
[MantraDatabase.kt:369 ](../composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/press/mantra/compose/database/MantraDatabase.kt )'s
`@ColumnTypeConverters` :
```kotlin
import androidx.room3.ConstructedBy
…
@ConstructedBy (MantraDatabaseConstructor::class)
@ColumnTypeConverters (MantraConverters::class)
abstract class MantraDatabase: RoomDatabase() {
```
The `expect object` it names already exists and needs no edit. This is the one
change in the whole plan that **also changes the JVM and Android builds ** : Room's
KSP starts generating an `actual` for every target rather than none, so the
annotation that unblocks iOS is the annotation most likely to move something
underneath `:composeApp:jvmTest` . Run it and read the output rather than assuming.
**Cancellation on the publish path.** Add
`kotlin.coroutines.cancellation.CancellationException::class` to the six existing
`@Throws` , and give `EventPublishTransport.publishEvent` one it does not have:
- [RelayPool.kt:289 ](../composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/press/mantra/compose/network/relays/RelayPool.kt )
- [RelaysSocketManager.kt:103 ](../composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/press/mantra/compose/network/relays/RelaysSocketManager.kt ) and `:118`
- [NostrPublisherRepository.kt:33 ](../composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/press/mantra/compose/repository/NostrPublisherRepository.kt ), `:55` and `:66`
- [EventPublishTransport.kt:31 ](../composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/press/mantra/compose/network/relays/EventPublishTransport.kt ) — new, naming `NostrPublishException` as well
Keep the fully-qualified style the surrounding annotations already use.
**One unused import.** `import kotlin.native.Platform` in
[Platform.ios.kt ](../composeApp/src/iosMain/kotlin/press/mantra/compose/Platform.ios.kt )
shadows the app's own `Platform` interface. Delete the line. Nothing on Linux
compiles `iosMain` , so this one is carried on Curated's word and the compiler's,
later.
**Verify, on Linux:** `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid :composeApp:jvmTest` .
**On a mac:** `:composeApp:compileKotlinIosArm64` .
> `feat(ios): declare the Room constructor and publish cancellation to swift`
2026-10-03 00:00:15 +02:00
**Landed** as two commits rather than one — `73b2c8ae` for `@ConstructedBy` alone,
`fc195832` for the seven annotations and the import — because the first was the
only change in the plan with real linux-side risk and deserved to be readable on
its own.
The risk was real and benign. Room's KSP now emits an `actual object
MantraDatabaseConstructor` for **android and jvm as well ** , each returning
`MantraDatabase_Impl()` , where before it emitted none at all and the `expect` sat
`@Suppress` ed and unreferenced. `jvmTest` is unmoved at 1174. A side effect worth
noting: `MantraDatabaseJvmTest` 's comment about the no-`Context` builder overload
being available "because `MantraDatabaseConstructor` gives Room a way to
instantiate without reflection" was aspirational when written and is now true.
2026-10-02 23:37:27 +02:00
---
## Phase 3 — unbreak the iOS link tasks
Two unrelated link failures, one commit, because they are the same symptom from the
outside: `./gradlew :composeApp:linkDebugTestIosArm64` and
`:composeApp:linkReleaseFrameworkIosArm64` both fail.
### The comma names — rewrite, do not cherry-pick
Curated's `aa9312f0` touched 38 `commonTest` files. **Ten of them do not exist
here** (`GroupEventProposalTest` , `CuratedSchemaEventTest` , `CuratedEntryEventTest` ,
`CuratedSchemaTemplateTest` , `GroupCuratedEntryTest` , `GroupCuratedSchemaTest` ,
`GroupPostTest` , `CuratedSuggestionTest` , `MarmotRoomIdentityTest` ,
`MarmotPayloadBoundsTest` , `FrostSigningMembersTest` ) — they belong to the fork's
curated-list and Marmot-v2 lines, neither of which Mantra has pulled. Meanwhile
Mantra has test files Curated does not: `ProjectEventTest` ,
`ChapterProposalSizeTest` , `UploadChaptersStateTest` , `UploadReviewTest` ,
`SubgroupLineageTest` , `MarkdownBlockTest` , `MarkdownProducerTest` ,
`ChapterTextTest` .
So do the sweep over **Mantra's own tree ** : 84 backticked `fun` names across 35
files in `composeApp/src/commonTest` . Every comma in every one of them is followed
by exactly one space — verified, no exceptions — so the rewrite is total and
unambiguous:
```bash
grep -rl 'fun `[^` ]*,[^`]*` ' composeApp/src/commonTest --include='*.kt' \
| xargs perl -i -pe 's/(fun `[^` ]*`)/($x=$1)=~s{, }{ }g; $x/ge'
```
Then read the diff. A name losing its comma loses a little of its rhythm and none
of its meaning (`read as its kind, tags and content` → `read as its kind tags and
content`); if any of the 84 reads badly afterwards, reword that one by hand rather
than leaving a comma behind.
**Leave `jvmTest` alone.** It has 138 comma names and Kotlin/Native never compiles
it. Curated left it alone for the same reason, and widening the sweep would put 138
cosmetic edits in a commit that is about a link failure.
### The release backend crash
Append to `composeApp/build.gradle.kts` , after the `kotlin { }` block and before
`android {` at line 161 — the same place Curated put it:
```kotlin
tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinNativeLink>().configureEach {
if (name.startsWith("linkRelease")) {
toolOptions.freeCompilerArgs.add("-Xdisable-phases=RemoveRedundantCallsToStaticInitializersPhase")
}
}
```
With the comment Curated wrote, which is the valuable part: the pass is an LTO
optimization, so only optimized links reach it (which is why the debug test binary
links fine); it assumes every function in the call graph has at least one statement
in its body; something in this module's graph arrives with an empty one; and
disabling it costs the redundant initializer calls it would have removed and
nothing else.
`tasks.withType<KotlinNativeLink>()` matches nothing on Linux, so this is inert
there — but the class resolves from the KMP plugin's classpath on any host, so the
script still has to compile. `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid` proves that
much.
**Expect this one not to be the end of it.** The crash is a property of the call
graph, and Mantra's graph is a superset of Curated's — projects, chapter uploads,
multi-parent subgroups, the markdown producer. The same phase may crash somewhere
else, or a different phase may crash. Treat the stack trace as the instruction:
disable the named phase, and write down why.
**Verify, on a mac:** `:composeApp:linkDebugTestIosArm64` and
`:composeApp:linkReleaseFrameworkIosArm64` .
**On Linux:** `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid :composeApp:jvmTest` — the
renamed tests must still run, and the count must not move.
> `build(ios): unbreak the ios link tasks`
2026-10-03 00:00:15 +02:00
**Landed** as `d024838b` , the linux-verifiable half. The sweep ran exactly as
predicted: 84 names in 35 files, 84 changed lines, every one of them a `fun` line
and no other line in the tree touched. Both renamed tests show up in the results
under their new names, under `jvmTest` and `testDebugUnitTest` alike, and the 138
commas left in the results are `jvmTest` 's own — the set the plan leaves alone.
Two of the 84 needed rewording by hand, where the comma had been carrying real
work rather than pausing: `EOSE does not end a live subscription, CLOSED does`
became `a live subscription ends on CLOSED and not on EOSE` , and `a page says
which chronicle it is, where in it, and who for` became ` ... and where in it and
who for`. The other 82 lost only a pause.
The `-Xdisable-phases` block is in but **unproven ** — no `KotlinNativeLink` task
exists on this host for it to match, so all that is verified is that the build
script still compiles. Whether this module's call graph crashes the same phase
Curated's did is Phase 6's question.
2026-10-02 23:37:27 +02:00
---
## Phase 4 — put every ktor client on Darwin
CIO has no TLS on Kotlin/Native. Pick the engine per platform instead of letting
the classpath pick it.
**Catalogue entry**, beside `ktor-client-cio` in
[gradle/libs.versions.toml:82 ](../gradle/libs.versions.toml ):
```toml
ktor-client-darwin = { module = "io.ktor:ktor-client-darwin", version.ref = "ktor" }
```
**Dependency**, inside the existing `isMacOsX` -gated `iosMain.dependencies` block at
[composeApp/build.gradle.kts:154 ](../composeApp/build.gradle.kts ). It goes inside
the gate, which is why Linux resolution is untouched by this phase.
**Three new files**, an `expect` and two `actual` s, in
`press.mantra.compose.network` :
- `commonMain/.../PlatformHttpClientEngine.kt` — `internal expect fun platformHttpClientEngineFactory(): HttpClientEngineFactory<*>`
- `androidMain/.../PlatformHttpClientEngine.android.kt` — `= CIO`
- `jvmMain/.../PlatformHttpClientEngine.jvm.kt` — `= CIO`
- `iosMain/.../PlatformHttpClientEngine.ios.kt` — `= Darwin`
**Two call sites.** `defaultSocketsHttpClient` becomes
`HttpClient(platformHttpClientEngineFactory()) { … }` , keeping its `WebSockets`
block as-is. And `MantraApp` gains the singleton Coil loader, because Coil's
default ktor fetcher builds a bare `HttpClient()` and would fail on `https://`
images exactly as the sockets did:
```kotlin
private val imageHttpClient by lazy { HttpClient(platformHttpClientEngineFactory()) }
@Composable
fun MantraApp(…) {
setSingletonImageLoaderFactory { context ->
ImageLoader.Builder(context)
.components { add(KtorNetworkFetcherFactory(httpClient = { imageHttpClient })) }
.build()
}
MantraTheme { … }
}
```
`setSingletonImageLoaderFactory` goes * above * `MantraTheme` , at the top of the
composable's body, so it is installed before the first `AsyncImage` composes.
`MantraApp` is the only place both call sites are reachable from, and Mantra has no
`ImageLoader` configuration today to reconcile with.
**Verify, on Linux:** `:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid :composeApp:compileKotlinJvm :composeApp:jvmTest` — the android and jvm `actual` s and both call sites compile here, which is most of the phase.
**On a mac:** `:composeApp:compileKotlinIosArm64` , then the real test — a device or
simulator that reaches a relay over `wss://` and renders an avatar over `https://` .
> `fix(ios): build ktor clients on Darwin so wss/https work on a device`
2026-10-03 00:00:15 +02:00
**Landed** as `e6c3c8a2` . The android and jvm `actual` s and both call sites
compile; the Darwin `actual` and the thing the phase is actually for do not, here.
`ktor-client-darwin` 3.5.2 has never been resolved on this host — the gradle cache
holds 3.3.3 and 3.4.1 from older work and nothing newer — because the dependency
sits inside the `isMacOsX` gate. It resolves on the mac at the same `ktor` version
ref Curated built against.
2026-10-02 23:37:27 +02:00
---
## Phase 5 — signing, icon, version
Three things Curated's last two commits did that **cannot be ported ** , only
decided. Each needs an answer from you before it can be written.
**`TEAM_ID` .** [iosApp/Configuration/Config.xcconfig ](../iosApp/Configuration/Config.xcconfig )
has `TEAM_ID=` empty, and the bundle identifier is built from it
(`press.mantra.ios$(TEAM_ID)` ). Curated committed its development team id in the
2026-10-03 00:00:15 +02:00
clear, which is normal for an xcconfig — a team id is not a secret — but it signs
builds to a particular account. The expectation is that Mantra uses **the same one
Curare does, `ZK3TQ662GB` **; that still wants confirming before it is written,
since it decides whose account the build belongs to and the bundle identifier is
derived from it.
2026-10-02 23:37:27 +02:00
**The app icon.** Curated replaced its single `app-icon-1024.png` with a 1024
light variant and a 1024 dark one, adding the `luminosity: dark` appearance to
`Contents.json` and leaving the `tinted` slot filenameless so iOS derives it.
Mantra's `AppIcon.appiconset` still holds one 1024 file and one entry. The
*structure* ports; the artwork does not. Two 1024× 1024 PNGs are needed.
**`MARKETING_VERSION` .** Mantra's xcconfig says `1.0` while
`android { versionName }` says `0.1.2` — the two have simply never been reconciled
because nothing shipped on iOS. Curated set both to the `0.1.x` line. Pick one
number for both; the mismatch is the bug, not either value.
Curated's `a673c85e` moved `versionName` from `0.1.2` to `0.1.1` , which is a
release-bookkeeping step on their tree and means nothing on this one. Do not port
it.
> `feat(ios): the app icon, the signing team, and one version across both stores`
---
## Phase 6 — the part only a mac can find
Phases 1 to 4 fix everything Curated hit. They do not fix what Curated never had,
and Mantra has pulled four lines of work the fork does not carry: projects, chapter
uploads, multi-parent subgroups, and the markdown producer. None of it has ever
been compiled for `iosArm64` .
So the honest shape of this phase is a loop, not a list:
```bash
./gradlew :composeApp:compileKotlinIosArm64
./gradlew :composeApp:linkDebugTestIosArm64
./gradlew :composeApp:iosSimulatorArm64Test
./gradlew :composeApp:linkReleaseFrameworkIosArm64
```
then Xcode, whose build phase already runs
`:composeApp:embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode` against the `ComposeApp`
framework, deployment target 18.2.
Known places to look first, each a guess with a reason:
- **`FilePicker.ios.kt` ** is the newest `iosMain` actual and the one behind chapter
uploads. It exists, so it compiles in principle; whether `UIDocumentPicker`
actually returns bytes on a device is untested anywhere.
- **Anything reached only from the new screens** — the `StaticInitializers` crash in
Phase 3 is call-graph-shaped, and these four lines are what widened the graph.
- **`kotlinx.datetime` and `okio` edges** in the markdown and chapter paths, which
are the usual source of a jvm-only overload that compiles everywhere but native.
Each fix found here is its own commit, in the voice of what broke rather than
"ios fixes".
---
## Phase 7 — write down what it cost
This document, revised from a plan into a record: which of the five defects
behaved as predicted, what Phase 6 actually found, and which compiler phase is
disabled with which stack trace behind it. Then revise its row in
[docs/README.md ](./README.md ), which this document already carries, so it describes
what happened rather than what was planned.
The `-Xdisable-phases` flag in particular needs a home in prose. It is a load-
bearing workaround for an upstream compiler bug, it is invisible from the source,
and the next person to bump Kotlin should be able to find out in one grep whether
they can take it out again.

## What to do if there is no mac
Phases 1 to 4 are worth landing anyway, and all four are verifiable on Linux for
the half that Linux compiles:
| phase | Linux-verifiable | needs a mac |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | the fix is `if (!currentOs.isLinux)` , so "unchanged" is the whole check | that it configures at all |
| 2 | `@ConstructedBy` and all seven `@Throws` | the unused-import removal |
| 3 | the renamed tests still run; the build script still compiles | both link tasks |
| 4 | the `expect` , the android and jvm `actual` s, both call sites | the Darwin `actual` , and TLS actually working |
| 5 | nothing | nothing — it needs decisions, not a host |
Phase 2's `@ConstructedBy` is the one with real Linux-side risk, since it changes
what Room's KSP generates for every target. Land it on its own and read
`:composeApp:jvmTest` carefully.
