I'm trying to get started with KMP by following the quickstart, and I can't seem to find the preflight checks anywhere. I believe I have all the plugins necessary, and I was able to run the sample program, yet there is no option for any preflight checks anywhere, not in the search, and not in the taskbar. I don't know if this is just how it is on windows, because it worked flawlessly on my mac mini following the same steps.

I think the pre flights checks run automatically (in mac) on project load, Mine always shows while i load the project, you are in which version of Android Studio?

Have you checked this?

[Allen]

Yes, I am following that quickstart. I am on Intellij Idea 2025.3. The issue is that the preflight check window or option doesn't even exist on my end, while on my mac there was an icon for it on the right toolbar.

Intellij Idea 2025.3 , have you tried this on Android studio?

Preflight checks are macOS-only for now, we have issues for other platforms:

Oh okay, I wasn't aware it was mac-only. Thank you for your help!
