Hello everyone, Good day you guys, I’m researching about Kotlin / Native to build desktop and iOS apps So I want to ask about your experiences before presentation for my boss. 1. I want to build an desktop app for windows/macos, Can I use TornadoFX? or only Kotlin/Native is enough for build the app?. 2. How to create an Installer for Windows / MacOS ? ( like dmg or setup.exe) 3. Is it possible to use the Swift library (3rd) to integrate with Kotlin/Native? Thanks.

2. For MacOS you can use this example: https://github.com/KosalaHerath/macos-installer-builder All software in MacOS For Windows just use Inno Setup. GitHub actions contains it

Thanks @aleksey.tomin.

1. TornadoFx is for JVM apps, so you'll not be able to access Swift libraries, but you can make it run on Linux, Windows and macOS with a JRE/JVM. 3. Only if that Swift library exposes its API to Obj-C (

@objcexport

IIRC). You can use it with the cocoapods plugin for Kotlin/Native.

Thanks @louiscad. Can you explain more about build desktop app for Linux, Windows and macOS with Kotlin/Native? What kind of file to export to install on these OS?

I can't tell much as I didn't do it yet. I only tried library development for desktop targets of Kotlin/Native

Can you explain more about build desktop app for Linux, Windows and macOS with Kotlin/Native? What kind of file to export to install on these OS?

1. MacOS -

gradle build

will made an application file. You can create

pkg

(may be signed) file. You have to create a correct

Info.plist

. Someone can download and install this (with problems - https://it.nmu.edu/docs/allowing-third-party-applications-install-macbook ) 2. Windows -

gradle build

will made an application

exe

file. InnoSetup create

exe

installator. Someone can download and install this after warning.
