Hello, someone has tried to start a simple CMP project with KoinApplication using Compose Hot Reload ?
The first start is fine, but when the reload is triggered, Koin throws an error as the KoinApplication is called gain.
Koin context has not been initialized in rememberKoinApplication
I know hotReload is new but apparently pretty stable and It will be unavoidable.
FYI: the hot reload run on the Desktop/JVM target.

try to use startKoin before, and KoinContext only. Even in 4.1 KoinContext & KoinAndroidContext won't be needed anymore

[François]

Yes, I know the alternative way but I need to write platform specific code, I wanted to avoid to do that.

[arnaud.giuliani]

why do you need specific platform code with startKoin?

[François]

I need to start my iOS and Android App.
The desktop App is only needed for hot reload.
KoinApplication is designed to start a CMP app and avoid startKoin, no?

[François]

something is missing in the documentation?

[arnaud.giuliani]

KoinApplication is one way to go. startKoin can still be used

[François]

Yes, that’s the way I’m doing it now.

[arnaud.giuliani]

I'm still studying impact of KoinApplication on Compose environment start. Making KoinMultiplatformApplication experimental

[François]

Compose hot reload make the app restart itself.
Koin throw an exception on the reload when there is declared modules.
With no modules, there is no issues.

[arnaud.giuliani]

Compose hot reload make the app restart itself.

from where does it restart?

[François]

From the documentation, it’s from a CompositionLocal at the root of the Compose Application

fun main() {
    singleWindowApplication(
        title = "My CHR App",
        state = WindowState(width = 800.dp, height = 800.dp),
        alwaysOnTop = true
    ) {
        DevelopmentEntryPoint { <-- 
            MainPage()
        }
    }
}
