Migrating a Kotlin Multiplatform project from CocoaPods to SwiftPM requires transitioning Gradle build files from the native.cocoapods plugin to the swiftPMDependencies DSL. This process also involves updating Kotlin import namespaces and reconfiguring Xcode project build phases to maintain build integrity.

Replacing CocoaPods dependencies with SwiftPM packages in KMP involves a structured dependency mapping to transition existing configurations to their SwiftPM equivalents. It ensures compatibility with modern KMP tooling by safely replacing legacy dependencies while preventing linkage conflicts.

Updating Kotlin import namespaces when moving from CocoaPods to SwiftPM ensures your code correctly references the new SwiftPM package structures. This transformation is a core part of the migration process that guarantees your Kotlin Multiplatform project maintains build integrity.

Yes, you can integrate SwiftPM with complex KMP dependencies like Firebase and Google Maps. The migration provides a multi-phase process that guides you through reconfiguring Xcode build phases and mapping these specific dependencies to their SwiftPM equivalents safely.

Cleaning up legacy CocoaPods artifacts after migrating to SwiftPM involves removing obsolete configurations from your Gradle build files and Xcode project build phases. This step is necessary to prevent build errors and linkage conflicts once the SwiftPM dependencies are fully active.

The limitations of migrating KMP projects from CocoaPods to SwiftPM center around potential build errors and linkage conflicts if the Gradle configuration and Xcode build phases are not transformed completely. Properly mapping legacy CocoaPods dependencies to SwiftPM packages is required to avoid these issues.
