Is there some tooling that will produce an abstract syntax tree for an app written in Kotlin? There is some static analysis that I would like to do to check for custom patterns in my code base.

You can use KSP for that

[Paul Woitaschek]

For example I have that in my MPP project to throw an error when a public property is called description because it clashes with swift

UAST will do this

KSP only shows signatures, not any kind of code / implementation

Very cool. Thank you.

@Carl Hickman not sure if you know about android lint. It's got android in the name, but it's not actually android specific. Might be worth checking out?

It won't work with MPP however
