Hi guys, I'm trying to create a compiler plugin for an Android project, but I have some issues. I took a look at examples, but it is using

shadowJar

and I can't make it work with Android. Do you have any suggestion or example? Thank you

Hi Eugeniu, you only need to use shadow if you want your compiler plugin code to be reused in an IDE plugin. If you have a small reproducible example of what fails we can maybe take a look.

Hi Raul, I just pasted the

HelloWorld

example plugin and

MetaPlugin

to a java module, adding

compileOnly "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-compiler-embeddable:$kotlin_version"
    compileOnly "io.arrow-kt:compiler-plugin:$arrow_meta"

as dependencies. Then I'm just depending on that module in the app module. But the app crashes because

fun helloWorld(): Unit = TODO()

is not being replaced. Am i missing any steps in the setup?

Are you applying the arrow meta plugin in gradle?

At the moment it's applied at application level, but I tried to apply it also to every module, but nothing changed

If you can package a minimal example and push it to a repo we can clone to troubleshoot someone will take a look to see if it’s an issue with your setup or a limitation in meta.

Yes, I was making a repo right now, thank you

Hi! We used the

shadowJar

task in that example to create a new compiler plugin with Arrow Compiler Plugin + Hello World Plugin
