Is it possible to do desktop native app yet (at least Mac OS), something along these lines:

I think you should be able to use the macos/app product type for this purpose

[joffrey]

If you want to have both a linux and a macOS app from the same code, you should be able to achieve that by putting all your code in a shared module of type lib and then have one module for each application with the corresponding product type.

Unfortunately, doesn't work for ktor (but does work for hello world).

[joffrey]

Sorry to hear that :/ Could you please elaborate on what doesn't work? Like the error you get, or the blocking issues you faced? It would be quite useful to know. And if you have a toy project to share it's even better :)

product: macos/app

dependencies:
  - io.ktor:ktor-server-core:2.3.12
  - io.ktor:ktor-server-cio:2.3.12

and then

Vanilla ktor server with cio:

import io.ktor.server.application.*
import io.ktor.server.engine.*
import io.ktor.server.cio.*
import io.ktor.server.response.*
import io.ktor.server.routing.*

fun main() {
    embeddedServer(CIO, port = 8080, host = "0.0.0.0", module = Application::module)
        .start(wait = true)
}

fun Application.module() {
    routing {
        get("/") {
            call.respondText("Hello World!")
        }
    }
}

Same result with ktor 3

Thank you!
