05/25/2025, 9:37 AMHey everyone. I recently found on JB site that KMP plugin is only supported on Intellij IDEA 2025.1.1 and Android Studio Narwahl Canary 10. Does this mean KMP replaces CMP plugin? I have successfully run CMP projects on Android Studio (lower versions) using CMP plugin without issues.
What's the difference between CMP and KMP plugins?
I would appreciate any clarifications.

05/25/2025, 1:05 PMYes, you are right, with the capabilities getting integrated to KMP.
So, I guess one way to use KMP (given that it is not yet available for Win/Linux) is to create the project on Mac and then build it on other platforms (to get binaries for those platforms).

Though thanks to Apple you do need to be running under macOS to compile apple targets (the exception being library projects, there's an experimental flag that lets you get around that requirement)
