Is it possible to debug Kotlin in Xcode 12? I followed instructions here https://github.com/touchlab/xcode-kotlin/issues/16 but I can't set breakpoints in Kotlin.

You can set breakpoints manually in lldb

(lldb) break -f YourFile.kt -l 42

Interesting information, thanks! However I was hoping for something more developer friendly 🙂

[mbonnin]

Another option would be to debug from Android Studio with the kmm plugin but I think this is broken with XCode 12 😕

Thanks

Sorry I don't have a better answer...

[mbonnin]

Someone more knowledgeable with xcode-kotlin might know how to make it work

I see something similar trying to debug from A.S.. It builds the iOS code fine until the linker tries to link the ARM64 version some cocoapods (instead of the X86_64 ones for the simulator). Do you see the same issue?

[mbonnin]

Yes, it's tracked there: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-41854

[mbonnin]

You can make it build by excluding arm64 from the architectures in XCode but it still won't start in the emulator from AS
