Is anyone using AS 4.2 canary able to install that plugin....seems to be only available in stable version?

[russhwolf]

If it's not working from inside the IDE, you can try a manual install https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14936-kotlin-multiplatform-mobile

[John O'Reilly]

thanks @russhwolf, that actually shows specific version for 4.2

[John O'Reilly]

but when I download/try to install it I get

[John O'Reilly]

perhaps new canary release imminent that this works with....

[russhwolf]

Shoot them a youtrack issue I guess

@John O'Reilly canary 09 is coming soon? 08 was released a few days ago 🤔

[John O'Reilly]

just speculating/hoping 🙂

From 27.08:

It should be out next week in case we do not find any major blockers.

interesting...the "Compatibility Range" for the version of plugin for 4.2 shows "201.7846.76—201.7846.76"

whereas what I have here is:

Android Studio 4.2 Canary 8
Build #AI-202.6397.94.42.6787931, built on August 25, 2020

so seems like it was designed to work actually with earlier version

Got bitten by this as well and decided to try the dev build - and now my AS 4.2 is bricked 😞 Any idea where the plugins live so I can delete it?

[egorand]

Managed to solve it with rm -rf "/Users/egor/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.2/plugins/kmm"

Currently one can install KMM plugin on Canary 7. Support for Canary 8 is upcoming.

[John O'Reilly]

note that Canary 9 is probably going to be out sometime this week (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/166468915)

[John O'Reilly]

Also, anyone using Jetpack Compose has probably moved to Canary 8 already as it had a couple of key related fixes

[John O'Reilly]

Is it the case that new version of plugin will be required for each canary release?

[JCollardBovy]

AS canary 9 is available

[Neil]

KMM plugin is not showing up in the plugin marketplace in Canary 9.

[John O'Reilly]

it won't be available until after Kotlin 1.4.1 release https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-41547#focus=Comments-27-4375482.0-0

[Neil]

Ah thanks.

FWIW (not much) I already tried the dev plugin build - release 42 - it installed ok, the new project wizard works and looks like it creates the project files OK but then gradle sync fails with an unhelpful error.

After uninstalling the plugin gradle syncs ok and the app will build and run on Android.
