Hi, anyone know why kotlin project is missing in android studio templetes? I’ve installed all the plugins, and even created a project before. But when I try to create a new project, it’s not there

The language is chosen in the next window

Hi, thanks for answering! But there was 2 more options in this window, like it is shown on tutorial

Android Studio is for creating Android apps. Those are the project templates to create an Android applications. If you want a basic Android app written in Kotlin, you can choose for example "No Activity", click next, select Kotlin as language if applicable, and finish

[Luke]

If you want a Kotlin app unrelated to Android. You can use IntelliJ IDEA

Android Studio should also support it as it is shown in this tutorial https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-mobile-create-first-app.html#create-the-project-from-a-template . Actually I created my first kmm project from it. But this time it’s somehow missing

[Luke]

Ah ok sorry. I didn't realize you wanted a KMM project. You just specified Kotlin in the initial question.

Make sure you have the KMM plugin installed with the latest version in Preferences -> Plugins -> Installed. Restart Android Studio to make sure it is loaded properly

What platform are you on? The KMM plugin disables itself if not on mac.

[Landry Norris]

If you just want to create a project on non-mac, you can enable the plugin manually, but it will disable itself again if you restart AS.

[Huanzhi Zhang]

Thank you all! I figured it out. The KMM plugin somehow is disabled.

[Huanzhi Zhang]

I’m using mac, but KMM still disables itself, doesn’t know this before.
