I created a new KMM project and got to the point where I wanted to add some images to the iPhone app. At this point I noticed that there was no Assets.xcassets file. I created a brand new project to double check I did not deleted it on accident and I did not. Is there a different way of doing this on KMM or do I need to manually add the Assets file?
Not really and I wouldn't really expect it, they might add it to the new project wizard or not, depending on which is the more general use-case for KMM I think.
The purpose of KMM is more sharing business logic and while they have bridging plugins and other tools for easier development probably it's still the best to work with Xcode for iOS platform specific things.
KMM does not create the entire android nor ios with it's asset you have to add the assets to it from xcode.

I have been working on a Cordova project for both iOS and Android.
As part of the project as we will need to build a number of projects from a basic template.
I have done this by creating a template for the actual cordova project and also as part of it I pulled the cordova-ios-master code base for when we add the iOS platform. So we use our own cordova-ios-master due to some small modifications we needed to add.
With some of the plugins we have added / created we need to access SDK's / API's from some third party developers (this is mainly for some push notification services). Normally when we create the project and have added the platform we then need to add the linked frameworks using Xcode.
However I can see that within the cordova-ios-master there is the template Xcode project. I was hoping I could add the linked frameworks within this project so that they are already added when we first create the project and add the custom iOS platform.
What seems to be happening though is if I add the linked library into the template Xcode project and then save it. Once I then re-add that platform to the cordova project instead of the Xcode project being named after the cordova project name, it seems to have messed the re-naming of the Xcode project.
Below shows how the Xcode project normally appears when you add the libraries manually after adding the platform
So if i modify the Xcode template in cordova-ios-master, shown below....
You can see it already has a libCordova.a added.
I add one more and re-save the project.
But then when I add the platform to my project again from this source, i open the Xcode project for it and whilst my library is added, the project was named "myproject" but i can't choose to run it as the project selection seems to appear as "PROJECT_NAME" as opposed to being named and usable as "my project"....
Im fairly new to mac's and Xcode so maybe I'm doing something basic wrong.
Any suggestions or ideas would really help, I hope this post makes sense, it is a bit complex.
Thanks again

Right I found a solution. I think I was looking at the problem the wrong way round. So if I need to add a framework for a particular plugin, rather than edit the Xcode project to add the framework. Cordova actually gives you the option to add certain frameworks from within the plugin.xml. Found this answer here....
How to copy a custom ios framework using plugin.xml on Phonegap 3
so I have added a required framework like so....
<framework src="src/ios/OtherLevels/OtherLevels.framework" custom="true" />
My bad!

I have searched a lot about this. But all the answers suggest that, it is possible to add new files into unity(xcode) project but vice versa is not possible. Actually, my target is to create sdk which will be used in a cordova plugin. What should I do?
To create an iOS sdk for unity you can create a library project in xCode and import the build to unity's Assets/Plugins/iOS folder. everything in here will automatically get included in xCode project generated by Unity.
And yes, it's very hard to include unity build in your own xcode project. There have been people begging for enlightenment to integrate Unity in another app but every time the threads are stranded beyond hope. Gibberish-gibberish... It's not possible.
It's extremely frustrating but it is possible. It requires a lot of changes to the build settings and compiler settings as well as customizing the launch of Unity components.
Best place to start is to import the Classes, Libraries, and Data folders (if applicable). Data as a folder reference and not a group. I'm also assuming your Unity project output is similar to what I've been given. We've modified our main.m file to be a C++ file (main.mm) and added in the Unity initialization code. We also updated the UnityAppController.mm file to not run startUnity on launch.
If this is still something you're working on please feel free to contact me on Twitter (#Ruprect) and I can help troubleshoot.
In this repo: https://github.com/jiulongw/swift-unity you can find how to integrate Unity Project into Xcode Swift Project.
A while ago I developed an iOS application using Xcode that and created a bunch of classes that work together to communicate with a RESTful API. Now I'm creating a second app, totally separate but communicates with the same API. I want to reuse these classes, what is the best way to approach this? Should I be do the via some Version control system? Or should I use an Xcode workspace?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I prefer to create separate Git repository for selected files, and embed this repository as submodule in both projects (old and new one)
In similar situation I done it using XCode Workspace and Static Library.
I added the common classes to a Static Library project and added that to the XCode Workspace.
In my second project I added that Static Library Project.
I have two options there:
Adding that Static Library project to the new project workspace
Adding the static library (.a) project to the new project
I chose the first option because, I can add the other common files to that Static Library and also modify the existing files if needed.
As Midhun and yourself mentioned, the best way to do it us by making a workspace and adding your projects to that.
Your shared code can go into a new project that's basically empty and dragged/linked from there into any projects in your workspace.
Changes made to that code from any project will also update the shared code base, which I think is what your ultimate goal was.
I have developed Unity iOS project. I am using some 3ds max model files in it with some animation. When I create project through Unity, it does creating it automatically and installing it on the iPad. Now, I want to include this unity based functionality into my existing iOS project. How can i separate this unity project and integrate into my existing iOS Xcode project? I see lot of dependancies in Unity created project. I don't know the steps how can we separate this and integrate into any existing iOS Xcode project?
Please advise!
Here's how we did it using Unity 5.2.2f1, Xcode 7.1 and Swift 2.1.
The steps outlined in the link below seem like a lot, but honestly, aside from the Import/Cleanup of some of the unity files, it takes < 5 min once you know the steps.

Actually thats not THAT hard to do. But honestly i would recommend not to try to integrate the generated project into your own, but start with the generated project and integrate yours. Since usually your part of the project will have a lot less changes in the build settings and dependencies.
Once you done the integration, you can update from a new export by simply copying the Classes and Libraries Folder from the generated project to the integrated one.
I explain how we integrated Unity into our iOS App in more detail here: http://www.markuszancolo.at/2014/05/integrating-unity-into-a-native-ios-app

I'm trying to set up a framework for iOS. It is a little basic UIFramework and I'd like to to contain fonts and images for buttons and such I'd like to reuse across multiple apps.
Is there anyway to bundle resources in the new frameworks in the xcode6 beta? I'd hate to have to copy and paste over all the fonts and images every time I want to use the framework.
I've found a halfway solution for now.
I Added a copy files phase to the build phases. Then all the files I want to be in the framework I add to that build phase. Then when the frame work is implemented you can drag the resources out of there as references in the project you're using them in. Then if you update your files and then update the framework the references then point to the new file.
The only down side is it won't keep track of new files added to the framework.
Here is sample project, which i've found, with a framework containing images
