Cannot access class 'dev.gitlive.firebase.storage.Data' in androidApp

[mr-kew]

I have a function in commonMain:

import dev.gitlive.firebase.storage.Data
...
fun getData(): Data {
    ...
}

and I am trying to call it from a androidApp (from compose):

Button(
    onClick = {
        val data = getData()
        ...
    }
)

but this gives me an error: Cannot access class 'dev.gitlive.firebase.storage.Data'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies..

I am doing just this in my :shared:build.gradle.kts:

commonMain.dependencies {
    implementation("dev.gitlive:firebase-storage:2.1.0")
}

I tried in commonMain:

public typealias StorageData = Data

but that basically tells me that type StorageData and dev.gitlive.firebase.storage.Data are not the same in androidApp.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it an issue with the library?

@SebastianFelon But there already is an actual class for Data (and File) in androidMain in storage.kt.

Anyway I solved it for now by doing expect/actual StorageData that is identical to dev.gitlive.firebase.storage.Data in my code and converting to it. But it feels like an issue with the library.

@mr-kew Could you please share your solution's implementation? I am having a similar issue. Trying to use storage and putByteArray which should be readily implemented with this library. Facing difficulties implementing a mapper from Kotlin's ByteArray to objective C's Data

[mr-kew]

@DjuroRad I never convert between ByteArray and NSData, I just use the platform dataWithMaxSize to get the NSData directly.

actual suspend fun StorageReference.getData(maxBytes: Long): Data = suspendCancellableCoroutine { continuation ->
    val task = this.ios.dataWithMaxSize(maxBytes) { data, error ->
        when {
            data != null -> continuation.resume(Data(data))
            error != null -> continuation.resumeWithException(FirebaseStorageException(error.localizedDescription))
            else -> continuation.resumeWithException(IllegalStateException())
        }
    }
    continuation.invokeOnCancellation {
        task.cancel()
    }
}

Oh I see. I got it wrong in the first place, I was trying to use .putByteArray function in order to store it. I will just go with its Data class for this
