10/04/2018, 2:24 PMIt isn't clear to me if that's just for multiplatform or if everything native is moving to IDEA

10/04/2018, 2:30 PMSo they can move everything to the community edition because of the work they are doing to integrate it all into Gradle. What was absent from the slide (curiously) was debugging. I don't think I can debug Kotlin/native / iOS code in IntelliJ can I? Is that planned?

10/04/2018, 4:15 PMAsked in the Marcin's multiplatform session so you'll have an official answer... Supposedly you just debug in Android Studio....

For IOS debugging, you use xcode and the debug console to dump variables and you get line breakpoints.
There's no way this would work in Android Studio.... Which makes more sense to me.
Android has their own debug tools, etc. And in theory, you write unit tests on the shared module and it should work everywhere.
