Hello guys, I'm looking for a guide to add platform specific code to KMP but without luck so far. More specifically, is there any guide for adding macosMain into KMP project?

Thanks for reading!

I'm trying to add macosMain but having an issue with dependency

macosArm64("macos") {
        binaries {
            executable()
        }
    }

    sourceSets {
        val desktopMain by getting

        val macosMain by getting {
            dependsOn(desktopMain)
        }

        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation(compose.runtime)
            implementation(compose.foundation)
            implementation(compose.material)
            implementation(compose.ui)
            implementation(compose.components.resources)
            implementation(compose.components.uiToolingPreview)
            implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-datetime:0.6.0")
        }

        desktopMain.dependencies {
            implementation(compose.desktop.currentOs)
        }
    }

Error gradle sync:

org.jetbrains.compose.desktop is not built for K/N, desktop is only supported via JVM

[nam]

thanks @ephemient, do you know how can I add platform specific code on macos? or is it not possible atm?

[ephemient]

macosArm64 cannot be a child of desktopMain because desktop dependencies are not available for it

[nam]

@ephemient thanks for the information. however, is there any document that I can looking into? I just need compose as the UI and able to invoke platform specific code.

[nam]

sorry for the dumb question but I'm super new to KMP

[Pablichjenkov]

Search in GitHub for a project supporting macos target and copy/paste

[ephemient]

using K/N to target macos is rare. the usual multiplatform target is the JVM one. it should be fine for all desktop platforms

[ephemient]

if you just look at the published versions, compose runtime, foundation, ui, etc. are available for K/N macos, just not desktop integration

[nam]

ok, thanks guys. Let me research on it
