Is there any guide how to try kn/mpp 1.3.70-dev-972?
I got error: Plugin [id: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform', version: '1.3.70-dev-972'] was not found in any of the following sources:

You need to add the kotlin-dev bintray repository to your buildscript classpath and regular repositories

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

From my head right now:
top level build.gradle.kts:

buildscript {
    repositories {
            maven { url =  uri("<https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-dev>") }
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url = uri("<https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-dev>") }

    }
}

Other than that, you can try any version you like by cloning the repository and calling
./gradlew install <-- to install the gradle plugin
./gradlew runIde <-- to start an IDE with current kotlin version

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Make sure that your project is then using the correct gradle plugin from your mavenLocal

I have added repository, and it seems someone else having same problem recently:

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Hmm. You can look into bintray and see which version is really published. Not every dev build lands on bintray afaik

Everything listed there under “versions” should work 👍

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

trying other versions don't work either
E.g. https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-dev/org/jetbrains/kotlin/multiplatform/org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform.gradle.plugin/1.3.70-dev-1231-20/

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Can I see more of your build file and the error message in order to help you?
You could share in a private message if you prefer that 🤔

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

here is my build file:
https://github.com/Ekahau/khtf-iosapp-fw/blob/master/build.gradle

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

It have 1.3.50, and I'm trying to change it to 1.3.70-something

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

I used the version from above and I am able to fetch and build with that 1.3.70 version 🤔
I have to go into the U-Bahn now. Takes me 15 min now 😕

See any (recent) blogpost about Kotlin EAP, and just replace eap to dev everywhere

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Oh are you relying on serialization?

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Okay I checked you repository out!

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

I see the issue.

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

I'm not relying on serialization

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

I think the issue is that your buildscript block is not applying the repositories before you want to use them. -
You can fix the issue by moving your app into a own app subfolder/submodule and splitting the root build.gradle from the app/build.gradle

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Works for me

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Hope this helped you ☺️

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

yes, "buildscript block is not applying the repositories" was the key to understand the problem

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

thank you!

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

At the end, I copied plugin repos to settings.gradle :
pluginManagement {
repositories {
...
}
}

[Konstantin Petrukhnov]

that way i don't need separate app folder
