Hi all can we do a poc on Kotlin multiplatform in windows to verify only on Android, I understand we cannot for iOS as xcode is prerequisite

Kotlin Multiplatform can work with both Windows and iOS on the same project, you just can't compile / execute them on your current machine (without VMs). If you use a different computer to execute code for each platform, then you can use all of them.

@CLOVIS thanks for the reply, I know kmp can be used as a common business logic layer for both ios and Android for which it produces aar for Android and cocopods for ios, do you mean to say we can still do a development on Kotlin multiplatform using windows operating system

Yes, you can use any OS you want to write the code, but you can only compile code for compatible OSs
Compatibility:
• JVM: all OSs
• Android: all OSs
• JS: all OSs
• Native Linux: all OSs
• Native iOS/OSX: only OSX
• Native Windows: only Windows

macOS, not OSX (The X in OS X stood for 10, but macOS is now at version 11 and counting).
