Curious, as I haven't been using Compose Multiplatform long enough to know the typical release patterns: do Kotlin and Compose typically update to support the latest beta iOS and XCode, or do they tend to wait for official release?

I only have one Mac and iPhone but decided to go for the developer beta anyway just to try things out, and can get by fine developing against XCode 16.4 and its simulator, but won't be able to test on my real phone (running the iOS beta) until Kotlin + Compose works with XCode 26

When developing for Kotlin iOS, a quick upgrade of the kotlin version is mandatory.
Yes, the compatibility of Kotlin -Xcode can be broken on each new version of xcode.

Like xcode 16.3 and the cinterrop broken feature which is fixed on version 2.1.21/KT-75781, weeks later after the release of xcode.

Just, don’t wait too much to upgrade your version of kotlin

[Sargun Vohra]

Yes, I'm on the latest Kotlin 2.1.21. I'm just curious if I can expect, say, the next Kotlin version to support the XCode 26 beta, or whether it's usually much later

[François]

Currently, it seems to work well even with cinterop (almost).
It’s better to say we hope that Xcode 26 is compatible with kotlin :)

But, apparently, it takes times to have a fix for Xcode.
