# multiplatform

[Rabie]

Hi, I am started playing around with CMP a few months back with AGP 8, now I migrated to AGP 9 where the android app is being extracted to it's own module. As I am using also developing a desktop app. So I was wondering shouldn't the desktop app has it's own module so all follows the same pattern? even though it is a kotlin and it will be deployed on the JVM.

We'll soon be adopting a default structure that creates a separate app module for each platform.

You can take a look here: https://github.com/Kotlin/kmp-wizard/tree/all-frontends-shared

[zsmb]

Of course you don't need to follow the wizard's structure, you can organize your project as you prefer

Can you guys remove the assumption that the iosApp is at the very top, and the only one?

[zsmb]

@Valeriy O. What do you mean? iosApp is structured the same way as the other platforms here.

[Rabie]

@zsmb, I know that I could set up my structure, but as I am just starting I want to understand the reasoning but looking forward the wizard update

[Valeriy O.]

@zsmb as I understand, iosApp has to be at the top of the repository for Android Studio plugins to recognize it and auto-populate the iosApp run configuration. I tried.

[zsmb]

That's unexpected, this should definitely work in the latest versions, as we're planning to use a nested iosApp folder in some cases (when a server module is added) in updates to our structure.

This is in Android Studio Panda 3, so the latest stable release, iOS is picked up as expected:

I just tried with Panda 3 RC1 and it didn't work for me. Any idea why?

[zsmb]

I'd suggest going to the stable Panda 3 release (there's already a Patch 1 too) and seeing if that works. Otherwise, if you're still seeing the issue there, please file an issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue?project=KMT

[Valeriy O.]

I tried with a new wizard project, and it worked. I should try again with my real project. By the way https://kmp.jetbrains.com/ is seriously out of date.

@zsmb is this template(https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3PQML5NU/p1776015341367509?thread_ts=1775982723.491799&cid=C3PQML5NU) ready?

[zsmb]

Yes, the templates in that repo are ready to use. They will soon be adopted by the wizard itself (as explained in more detail in the readme of that repo).

This is awesome, thank you guys

[Rabie]

@zsmb thank you! Awesome, I will use for the new project
