Why don’t you start with one of the examples which support macOS, like, e.g., https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/tree/master/examples/falling-balls

[Nikita Lipsky]

macosX64 native target is too experimental, but yes please try mentioned sample above first and then check what are differences in the configuration (gradle scripts, etc.) with your project

[Giorgi]

thanks for the reply.

I tried to run the sample from shared -> macosMain via green button, but it has same results. There is a message BUILD SUCCESSFUL and thats it.

[Giorgi]

I though I was missing NSApplication.sharedApplication() on my app, but it also does not help to show the window

[Michael Paus]

Did you select the proper run configuration as described here? https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/tree/master/examples/falling-balls#run-native-on-macos
Also, did you set up your environment as described here? https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-template#setting-up-your-development-environment

what does shared[macosX64] mean? I though it was a gradle task or part of gradle task name but I dont have any.

Also, did you set up your environment as described here?

yea, I missed this. Added couple UTF-8 env variables and it says that my system is ready for Kotlin multiplatform

[Giorgi]

before I was trying to run with runDebugExecutableMacosArm64, but still does not work...

[Giorgi]

wait, I dont have Arm64, Im on Intel i7, it should be X64, right?

[Giorgi]

okay so I got it to work.

I ran runDebugExecutableMacosX64 it failed saying there is no main in root package, then I added a new directory in shared module macosX64 with copied main function from macosMain, ran runDebugExecutableMacosX64 and the window showed up

[Giorgi]

and now how I know what is missing from my project...

[Giorgi]

why ``runDebugExecutableMacosArm64` does not fail when I ran it on X64?

[Michael Paus]

I am glad you got it working. I experienced the same problem in the end. I think JetBrains project setup is simply not correct. Maybe you want to report that as a bug.
