What's the status on watchOS target? Looks like 1.3.60 will support it (https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/671da8181cb729dca449cc597dc6c89d4f429b73/CHANGELOG.md) ? Will there be a sample project published?

There’s already a sample project: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/tree/master/samples/watchos

I saw that - but it doesn't look like a reference standalone project - in any case, I tried it and I am not able to compile, all kinds of errors, too many to list here. And the build setup (https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/samples/watchos/build.gradle.kts) is wildly different from their iOS/android reference project - https://github.com/Kotlin/mpp-example/blob/master/greeting/build.gradle

Hello @Dmitri Sh! Please note, that mpp-example is out-of-date at the moment, while watchos is not released yet. Also, it would be nice if you can share the errors and difficulties you faced with this sample - every feedback matters, especially for new stuff like that.

[Dmitri Sh]

Apologies, I don't remember much at this point and I removed the project so cannot check back. But I do remember two things - the first error I got after compiling for maybe 40 mins - I googled and found this command - ./gradlew clean dist crossDist - that fixed that first issue, but then ran into other problems and given that it took good thirty minutes or so before problems surfaced, I just gave up

[Dmitri Sh]

I hope you guys will publish a reference project that targets both iOS and watchOS!!!

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

Oh, I see. It looks like you smashed into the fact that these samples use the compiler built from sources. Maybe removing a line org.jetbrains.kotlin.native.home=<...> from all gradle.properties files will make it less painful - and less time-wasting, as you have no goal to build the compiler, only to play with the example. Please give this method a try and ping here if something will go wrong again.

maybe sometime next week when I feel adventurous 🙂
