Okay.. I'm stupid, and apparently don't know how to google for this, so I'll just ask you guys, if you don't mind. I'm trying to follow this tutorial for Kotlin/MPP: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/native/mpp-ios-android.html I am on a Windows machine, and I know that I won't be able to compile the iOS portion of this on this machine, but I also cannot resolve the

platform.UIKit.UIDevice

package that's used in the iosMain actual.kt file. So are those packages also not accessible for me from a Windows machine?

I use AndroidStudio and it's the same for me here. I think there is no IDE support for the iOS part, at least for windows. Couldn't test it on a Mac yet though

cool, good to know I'm not alone at least! 🙂

Additionally this makes sense because all the Apple Framework libraries aren't even installed on your windows machine

yeah, that's what I figured, too.. I thought maybe there'd be some kind of intermediate interfaces created by MPP 🙂

That would be helpful, but as far as I understand, these interfaces are generated automatically from the actual libraries

You might be able to add a

if (org.gradle.internal.os.OperatingSystem.current().isMacOsX()) { ... }

around the parts in the Gradle file that reference iOS. I'm not exactly sure how the demo project is structured, but that works for my development and libraries.

I used this tutorial and the IDE marks the package "platform" red but it still works fine on a Mac. So when its just red and have the error "unsolved reference: platform", but the code compile it should work. (I work mainly on a windows machine, but I can run it also on a Mac)

there's IDE support for iOS frameworks, but only on macOS hosts

thanks @olonho, that's what I thought.. will try this out on my colleagues mac on Monday
