A few interesting null-safety bugs which you might not know you can still run across in Kotlin: https://link.medium.com/crB736lsXxb

I just released the eight release candidate for kt-search 2.0. https://github.com/jillesvangurp/kt-search With this release and the previous one, I fixed several issues reported by users. I'm trying to fix them as they come in. But it is great to see some traction for this. Also, we are completing the rollout of this internally, which inevitably causes some progressive insight to make things better. Kt-search is a Kotlin Multi Platform library to search across the Opensearch and Elasticsearch ecosystem on any platform that kotlin can compile to. It provides Kotlin DSLs for querying, defining mappings, bulk indexing, index templates, index life cycle management, index aliases, and much more. The key goal for this library is to provide a best in class developer experience for using Elasticsearch and Opensearch. Highlights for the 2.0 release: • Complete rewrite on top of multi platform libraries (kotlinx.serialization, ktor-client, datetime, coroutines). You can run this in a browser, in a lambda function, or integrate this with your favorite JVM based application server. • Compatibility with opensearch and elasticsearch in several versions. • Extensive Kotlin DSLs for queries, aggregations, mappings, bulk indexing, etc. • Type safety: you can use kotlin class properties or enum values instead of string literals in a lot of places. • Lots of DX related features that cut down on the boiler plate needed to do things with elasticsearch or opensearch. • Complete coverage of all relevant features in the manual. Have a look, let me know what you think, what you like, what you don't like, etc. Would you use this? If not, what is the key thing you are missing?

I wrote an article related to usage of customized usage of Detekt: https://medium.com/@inzuael/how-to-customize-detekt-to-meet-your-own-requirements-a260b0f848ad

My most ambitious refactor yet!

We’ve published several updates to our KMM open source libraries. Here’s the post: https://touchlab.co/open-source-updates/

How Kotlin null-safety works, and how can we deal with nullable values? You’ll find all about Nullability in #Kotlin in this article written by @marcinmoskala: 📄 https://kt.academy/article/kfde-nullability Complete book ⤵️ 📕 https://kt.academy/book/kotlin_essentials This book was reviewed by: Owen Griffiths, Nicola Corti, Endre Deak, Matthias Schenk Emanuele Papa Grigory Pletnev and Roman Kamyshnikov. Thank you!

Updated with many components in JetPack compose. Check it out. https://github.com/SimformSolutionsPvtLtd/SSComposeCookBook

🔴 I'm streaming some some basic Ktor development and doing some chill Q&A at https://twitch.tv/sebi_io, so if you wanna join me or ask some questions to a Kotlin Developer Advocate at JetBrains, come tune in and say hi 😄

FModel v3.4.0 has been released. For more information take a look at https://github.com/fraktalio/fmodel/releases/tag/v3.4.0. FModel is a set of Kotlin multiplatform libraries optimized for EventSourcing, CQRS and DomainModeling.

🔴 Yesterday went really well and we had a lot of fun with quite an interactive Q&A, so I'm back for another session of casual Ktor+Coroutines dev at https://twitch.tv/sebi_io. Come hang out, say hi, and ask any kind of Kotlin questions to a Kotlin Dev Advocate if you have any! I'm very good at getting sidetracked, so it's the perfect setting for whatever Kotlin things you have on your mind!

🔴 We did some fun stuff on yesterday's stream, including interesting tangents like the

zally

API validator, some discussions about StateFlow, refactored and discussed the architecture of our little Ktor app, and went on some wildly fun tangents. If that sounds interesting to you, come tune in today and see what's in store – or ask your questions to a JetBrainer & Kotlin Dev Advocate! There's gonna be Compose and Ktor, I can already promise that much! :ktor::compose-multiplatform: https://www.twitch.tv/sebi_io

New KDoctor release! • new feature: development team ids for iOS applications (run

kdoctor --team-ids

). 🍎 • implemented instant reporting during diagnostic runs (with cool animations in a terminal). ✨ • added a diagnostic to analyze the synthetic gradle project for finding the configuration issues (run

kdoctor -a

). 🎉 • added a diagnostic to analyze a user project (run

kdoctor -a

inside a gradle project root directory). 👤 • removed dependency on

libcurl

. ⚡ • lot of bug fixes and polishing. 😒crewdriver: https://github.com/Kotlin/kdoctor/releases/tag/v1.0.0

For the last time this week, I'm gonna be live with another chill Q&A session and some Kotlin coding! If you'd like to ask any kind of questions to a Kotlin Dev Advocate, feel free to join! We're actually also gonna talk about the new KDoctor release that was posted in this channel, since I made a contribution to that release! 😄🎉 https://twitch.tv/sebi_io

👋 hey, we’ve just released a first preview version of the Sentry Kotlin Multiplatform SDK with support for the JVM, Android and Apple targets https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-kotlin-multiplatform. If you’re already using other Sentry mobile sdks, the KMM sdk might look not that feature-rich, but it should contain all of the core functionality for enriched crash reporting to work. Please let us know if you have any feedback/feature requests through github issues. Cheers!

This repo contains all the Open-source Libraries from iOS, Android, Flutter and React-Native.✨ https://github.com/SimformSolutionsPvtLtd/Awesome-Mobile-Libraries

One of my best yet I think

Did you know that Kotlin can smart-cast a variable in response to calling your own functions? In this video, we'll use Kotlin's experimental Contracts feature to make that happen.

Hello, I would like to share an article I wrote about how to utilize Apple’s CryptoKit library within a Kotlin Multiplatform shared module using the Swift Klib Gradle plugin. This approach may be helpful if you are concerned about using third-party cryptographic libraries for security reasons. https://dev.to/ttypic/going-swiftly-using-a-swift-only-libraries-in-your-kotlin-multiplatform-app-1ml9
