Access underlying platform-specific APIs

[tgyhlsb]

I'm trying to create extensions on types that are missing some methods.

My understanding is that any commonMain type has a .ios property that I can use from iosMain. I've found such property but I'm unable to use it because I can't import the "FIR" type that backs it.

Example:
I'm trying to add a method to StorageReference.
In iosMain I have:

import dev.gitlive.firebase.storage.StorageReference
import cocoapods.FirebaseStorage.FIRStorageReference // Error: Unresolved reference: cocoapods

actual fun StorageReference.putBytes(data: ByteArray) {
    println(this.ios.name()) // Error: Unresolved reference: name
}

How am I supposed to import and access FIRStorageReference properties?

I believe in the case of iOS you need to add the relevant pod to your build.gradle to resolve that, like we have here:

firebase-kotlin-sdk/firebase-storage/build.gradle.kts

Line 92 in d13f931

pod("FirebaseStorage") {
