CocoaPods to SwiftPM Migration for KMP

Migrate Kotlin Multiplatform projects from kotlin("native.cocoapods") to swiftPMDependencies {} DSL.

Requirements

• Kotlin: 2.4.0-Beta2 or later (first public release with swiftPMDependencies support, available on Maven Central)
• Xcode: 16.4 or 26.0+
• iOS Deployment Target: 16.0+ recommended

Migration Overview

IMPORTANT: Keep the cocoapods {} block and plugin active until Phase 6. The migration adds swiftPMDependencies {} alongside the existing CocoaPods setup first, reconfigures Xcode, and only then removes CocoaPods.
