11/08/2022, 2:07 PMIs it possible to have access to platform specific APIs? What I am trying to achieve is display and hide Mac OS notifications from my jvm app. I am away of Tray notifications but that is limited as I cannot hide notifications.
To my understanding there are no kotlin or jetpack compose desktop APIs for that and I would need to figure out my way through the JNI. is that right?

11/08/2022, 2:39 PMlike inside the .app bundle there should be an info.plist that explains what entitlements your application will have, it's not just going to be a case of removing the notifications one? I've not done desktop mac development so I can't be sure. But it's something easier to look into before you start going down a JNI bridge.

11/08/2022, 2:47 PM@czuckie that is a different thing to what I am asking. You are talking about changing the style of notifications the app produces. Mine is more having control over displaying and hiding notifications from my app.

11/08/2022, 2:47 PMassuming setting the key will disable the notifications

11/08/2022, 2:47 PMoh my bad! I thought you just wanted no notifications :X

11/08/2022, 2:58 PMWhy do you need a java bridge when you can use expect actual and call apple apis directly from the kotlin multiplatform project!

11/08/2022, 2:59 PMBecause that only works if you're targeting kotlin/native. That might work, I don't know, but I think Compose Desktop projects are usually JVM based.

11/08/2022, 3:03 PMThe Obj-C bridge has the advantage that you don't need to write native code.

11/08/2022, 3:03 PMBut yes that approach works too
