09/14/2021, 1:05 PMHi, a couple of months ago I tried out KMM (and got some really good help here, thanks@), I had a few issues notably deploying on iOS did not work reliably. Anyway, the world of KMM moves fast and I;m sure there is a new IDE version and libs to use. I want to create a KMM lib that does network calls as a first step. My question is, if I was to start from scratch what route do you recommend? The sample KMM project generated by Android STudio in the latest Arctic Fox (or some other version?) Or should i try the KampKit?

09/14/2021, 1:16 PMMy project uses Compose for Desktop (see compose-jb on GitHub) and my targets are JVM (Windows & MacOS), Android, iOS and macOS (native with SwiftUI)

09/14/2021, 1:17 PMI basicly merged the compose-jb template into the kmm-production-sample

09/14/2021, 1:18 PMI hope that one day my company may allow me to contribute back a stripped version of my app back as a template for others

09/14/2021, 1:19 PMwhat version of AS are you using?
s
Stefan Oltmann
09/14/2021, 1:21 PMNormally Android Studio Arctic Fox Stable ARM64 works best.
Not so much luck with original IDEA or other versions.
Right now I'm using the Intel version of AS which is much slower, but ARM64 is currently broken on macOS 12 Beta - which I need because I use Swifts new async/await feature

09/14/2021, 3:27 PMYou will generally get quick answers to KaMPKit questions, although obviously there are other good sample apps now. We built KaMPKit when there weren't as many.

09/14/2021, 3:27 PMFor ios/Android, definitely KaMPKit will be good, as that's what it's designed for.
