09/01/2020, 2:55 PMNot sure? They’ll most likely use the same lldb formatting scripts and under the hood, debugging will be the same, so it’s more of a “you” question, as in, which do you prefer?

09/01/2020, 2:56 PMOk, I see. I understand that Jetbrains plugin is for Android Studio, and Touchlab plugin is for xCode. But I would definitely prefer just use Android Studio.

09/01/2020, 2:57 PMWe’re going to start experimenting with the AS plugin, but Xcode is installed and you generally use it to work on the iOS side, so I never thought the 1 IDE thing was super critical. I’ve been doing “shared code” since 2015, though, starting with J2objc. At this point I’m super familiar with Xcode, for better or worse.

09/01/2020, 2:59 PMYou can’t really do UI work in AS I assume, so you’ll still kind of need Xcode. I don’t think you’ll really be able to stay in AS 100% of the time, unless maybe you’re just running native tests.

09/01/2020, 2:59 PMOK, I will have a look once I will be able to install the AS plugin, which currently doesn’t work on AS 4.2 Canary 8

09/01/2020, 2:59 PMAlso, btw, I need to fix something in the lldb scripts in the Xcode plugin. We had forked lldb scripts. I tried to merge them with the JB one, but there’s a performance issue that crept back in.
