# multiplatform

[Alexander Suraphel]

hi all, i’m going to start a multiplatform project. Targeting Android and Desktop now, ios shortly after. Is https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kmm-setup.html up to date?

[mbonnin]

KMM is Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile so it won't cover Desktop

[mbonnin]

You should be able to add Desktop as a separate Gradle module after the fact though

[Alexander Suraphel]

Aha is there any guide for that @mbonnin?

[mbonnin]

Not really sure. How do you want to do your UI on Desktop ?

[Alexander Suraphel]

compose

[mbonnin]

You could can use Compose on Desktop + Android https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-mpp/

[mbonnin]

For iOS you'll most likely need something else. THere have been prototypes of Compose on iOS but it's ssuuuuuppeeer early at that point

[Alexander Suraphel]

ios is not a near term plan for us @mbonnin we’re targeting desktop and android for now

[Alexander Suraphel]

use the Tablet view for desktop

[mbonnin]

I'd download the latest IntelliJ EAP and use the wizzard from there. IIRC it has an option for Compose Desktop

[Alexander Suraphel]

I’m using Android Studio, I guess that works too

[mbonnin]

Maybe but that's not always the case

[Alexander Suraphel]

By IntelliJ EAP do you mean the CE or Ultimate edition @mbonnin?

[mbonnin]

both should work

[Alexander Suraphel]

BTW KMM plugin is not available on both CE and Ultimate for me. I could only install it on Android Studio..

[Mike Wolfson]

I think there is a KMP plugin for intelij, that is different from me KMM one.

I would start with the samples in the compose-jb library. There are multiple Android + Desktop examples using compose
