in the docs it says you need android studio to use the kmp library. I use intellij for my multiplatform libs. is there anyway to make it work? https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm/sdk/kotlin/install/kotlin-multiplatform/

It should work AFAIK if you have Intellij with the Android Support plugin.

[michaelv]

I wasn’t able to get it to compile adding the plugin and dependencies.

[michaelv]

ok I got it to work. it compiles anyway.

[michaelv]

ok so it turns out I misspoke. I didn’t compile I just got the gradle sync to succeed. Once I tried to publish to maven local it failed. I get this error even though I’ve added implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.6.0-native-mt")

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':compileKotlinIosArm64'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':iosArm64CompileKlibraries'.
   > Could not resolve org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.6.0-native-mt.
     Required by:
         project :
         project : > io.realm.kotlin:library-sync:1.0.0 > io.realm.kotlin:library-sync-iosarm64:1.0.0

In the documentation it says to add classpath("io.realm.kotlin:gradle-plugin:1.0.0") to the build script of the project level build.gradle file however since I’m not using android studio I don’t have a project level build.gradle file. I’ve tried putting inside the settings.gradle similar to com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3 but it didn’t help. Not sure what else to even look at. Any ideas? Was anyone else able to get it to work from IntelliJ?

[michaelv]

The way I got it to sync was to use

id("io.realm.kotlin") version "1.0.0"

which is different to the documentation. But yeah seems I need to do something else also.

I posted my question here also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72919305/is-it-possible-to-use-the-realm-kotlin-multiplatform-sdk-with-only-intellij-not

[michaelv]

ok I was able to get it to compile in a new test library. I was also to reproduce this behaviour by adding ktor libraries. It seems ktor conflicts with

implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.6.0-native-mt")

not sure yet how to resolve that though.

[michaelv]

it says to use strictly but it didn’t work. Not sure how to make ktor use that version. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-mobile-concurrency-and-coroutines.html#multithreaded-coroutines
