What is the advantage of using

either

over

either.eager

for suspending computations? If I use

either.eager

, will it simply block the current thread?

suspend fun doSomethingLong(): Either<Error, Unit>

either.eager {
    doSomethingLong() // does it block the current thread?
}

I am running a KMM project. I get this error, but I am not sure how to fix it:

Cannot infer a bundle ID from packages of source files and exported dependencies, use the bundle name instead: shared. Please specify the bundle ID explicitly using the -Xbinary=bundleId=<id> compiler flag.

Whats the preferred method of adding a CoroutineScope to a Viewmodel in Desktop code? In Android we have the lifecycle aware ones. I want to instantiate the ViewModel via Koin or KodeinDI in the Composable. But how do I pass a Composable scoped CoroutineScope which will get cancelled when the Composable is removed?

Hi all! I’ve used kotlin dsl to set up convention plugins for my multi-module app, pretty much following what the

nowinandroid

app has done. But I keep getting this error any time I change any code in the plugins module, or if I do a clean build:

Cause: loader constraint violation in interface itable initialization for class com.android.build.gradle.internal.api.VariantFilter

Strangely, what makes it temporarily go away is doing a build with --scan, but I have no idea what causes it, especially because I’m not using variant filters. More details about the error + setup in thread.

Is there a way to package an application into an EXE that isn't an installer? I want to share something with friends that they can just run without them having to worry about things being installed on their system. I saw mention of installer and app-image exes in this channel, but idk if that's what I'm looking for or where to read up on it

I want to add protobuf to my kotlin multiplatform project that contain "Android and Desktop" so it's JVM only the plugin by default compiles protobuf source from "src/main/proto" rather than "src/commonMain/proto" Do you know how to fix that issue ?

Hi i have a strange runtime exception in my android application i employ arrow retrofit call adapter and can successfully build a release build using proguard which is available on the google play store. that production version of my application employs AGP 7.4.2

I’ve added nested navigation to my app and everything is working great except this one scenario. We have a need to open internal deeplinks from a Uri that we get from our backend. The destination for this deeplink is defined within a nav graph in our nav host. When we open a deeplink from outside the app, the backstack looks like this:

root > destination nav graph (ng1) > Start destination (A) > deeplink destination (B)

. When I use

navController.navigation(deeplink=uri)

with navOptions to popUpTo the root nav graph,

A

is not inserted into the backstack behind

B

like it is with the external deeplinks.

does kotlint-logging support mocking the logger?

I'm trying to use bouncycastle for kotlin. I kinda feel like an idiot because i can't find what dependency i should drop into my build.gradle. lol. just me? https://github.com/bcgit/bc-kotlin
