Build Mapbox pod iOS with Kotlin/Native Multiplatform - ios

Question

I'm trying to add Mapbox to Kotlin/Native project, where I use cocoapods:
(already set up for Android - works fine)
//plugin
kotlin("native.cocoapods")
//pod
cocoapods {
// Configure fields required by CocoaPods.
summary = "Some description for a Kotlin/Native module"
homepage = "Link to a Kotlin/Native module homepage"
pod("Mapbox-iOS-SDK", "~> 6.0.0")
}
Pod run through the Kotlin/Native doesn't read .netrc file with credentials:
machine api.mapbox.com
login name
password pass
In pod file I added my library:
pod 'SharedCode', :path => 'kotlin_native/SharedCode'
The error I see when I run pod install:
[!] Error installing Mapbox-iOS-SDK
[!] /usr/bin/curl -f -L -o /var/folders/vk/rb1bs6ld7wd19cmg6srw9s080000gn/T/d20200728-92875-1y3089q/file.zip https://api.mapbox.com/downloads/v2/mobile-maps/releases/ios/packages/6.0.0/mapbox-ios-sdk-dynamic.zip --create-dirs --netrc-optional --retry 2

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 401 Unauthorized
If I add pod to iOS project directly, it works ok:
#pod 'Mapbox-iOS-SDK', '~> 5.0.0'
How can I make it read credentials file? Is it possible?
Also, I tried to use podspec and put access_token in the URL but it doesn't work (with or without token), not sure if it is not supported or made syntax mistake?
ArgumentError - Illformed requirement `":podspec => https://github.com/mapbox/pod-specs/blob/master/Mapbox-iOS-SDK/5.2.0/Mapbox-iOS-SDK.podspec"`

Answer 1

this feature is not supported at the moment. Kotlin version 1.4-RC should introduce a possible workaround. One can try calling curl manually and then import local CocoaPods dependency as it is done in this sample.
I would also recommend you to file an issue here(https://kotl.in/issue). Supporting credentials is important, and should be put on the Kotlin team's list.

Answer 2

The login has to be "mapbox" : mapbox documentation : https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/overview/#configure-credentials
machine api.mapbox.com
login mapbox
password <INSERT API TOKEN>
Bonus tips :
You can add credential before pod install / pod update process and remove it after with this macos script for example:
echo "Generate credential for mapbox"
echo "machine api.mapbox.com" > ~/.netrc
echo "login mapbox" >> ~/.netrc
echo "password <INSERT API TOKEN>" >> ~/.netrc
To delete this entry later :
sed -i '' -e '/^machine api.mapbox.com$/{N;N;d;}' ~/.netrc
