I see you advance in tooling every year, step by step, in the thread I have several questions to consider to migrate my project to Kotlin Toolchain / Amper
since I'm not up to date with all the new changes

Hi! Happy to hear that you're considering this migration. Please don't hesitate to fire your questions, we'll help as best we can 🙂

Right now, I’m auditing my project to determine at which stage I can consider the migration, ensuring feature parity between Toolchain and the existing Gradle setup

[Dumitru Preguza]

I find the migration to be challenging at the moment, the main concerns are:

1. ** Android `manifestPlaceholders` / `androidComponents.onVariants`** — an OIDC redirect scheme wiring won't migrate cleanly.
2. ** `subprojects { resolutionStrategy.eachDependency }`** — the `dev.whyoleg.cryptography 0.5.0 → 0.6.0` ABI pin has no native equivalent.
3. ** patched kotlinx-rpc compiler plugin from `local-maven-repo`** — KT's built-in `kotlin.rpc: enabled` pins its own version; only the generic `compilerPlugins:` escape hatch is available, untested for your patched 2.3.0/2.3.21 combo.
4. ** SQLDelight** — no integration in the toolchain; would need a custom local KT plugin (and plugin publication isn't supported yet). Same with Mokkery.
5. ** native deps + framework knobs** — your `spmForKmp`/`cinterops`/`linkerOpts`/`-lsqlite3`/`xcrun` wiring needs to be re-implemented inside the mandatory `module.xcodeproj`.
6. ** Compose Desktop `nativeDistributions` & capability-matched Maplibre desktop binding** — currently inert (desktop disabled) - Optional

When you have some free time here is an attached file rendered in Markdown with some code examples, low priority for now

Thanks a ton for the write-up! I'll have a look and report back. From a quick glance, there are indeed some missing pieces that might be blockers for you, and it's very good that we're now aware of this.

@Dumitru Preguza Just so you know, I haven't forgotten about your report. I will get back ASAP 😉 Sorry that it takes so long!
