Hey!

I've seen that this point has been removed from the kotlin multiplatform development roadmap:

Make it possible to build and publish a KMP library without having a Mac machine.

Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20231116133935/https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/11/kotlin-multiplatform-development-roadmap-for-2024/ and https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/11/kotlin-multiplatform-development-roadmap-for-2024/

Does that mean it's not planned anymore or maybe technically impossible?

[Zoltan Demant]

Fwiw, Ive published plenty of KMP libraries with Windows without any issues, maybe its a non-issue?

[jw]

No, it's definitely still an issue

[Michael Krussel]

I imagine there's a YourTrack ticket about it that would contain any status info.

[Julius]

Oh, I should have clarified, this is about being able to build and publish KMP libraries to all targets, which includes iOS, which is not currently possible!

[Jacob Rhoda]

@Julius The only way to do that without a Mac is with a Mac in the cloud. I imagine you could set up a Github Action to do it.

The question is not how to do it today. We all know how to do it today. The question is about why Zig-like cross-compilation was removed from the roadmap.
