Kotlin Multiplatform IDE plugin releases

0.9

Released: 19 May, 2025

The Kotlin Multiplatform plugin was rebuilt from the ground up:

• Integrated New Project wizard for supported IDEs.

• Preflight environment checks that help find and solve issues with the setup, including Java, Android, Xcode, and Gradle.

• Automatically generated run configurations for all supported platforms, with the device selector for iOS and Android.

• Cross-language support: cross-language navigation and debugging for Swift and Kotlin, along with Swift syntax highlighting and quick documentation.

• Compose Multiplatform support: the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin now supports Compose Multiplatform resources, autocompletion, and UI previews for common code (the previous Compose Multiplatform plugin can be safely uninstalled).

• Compose Hot Reload: instantly see UI changes without restarting the app (with a desktop JVM target). See Hot Reload docs for more information.

Known issues:

• In Android Studio, the Compose debugger currently doesn't work with Kotlin 2.1.20 and 2.1.21. This issue will be fixed in Kotlin 2.2.0-RC2.

The plugin works with any of the Kotlin versions, but most of its functionality relies on Kotlin 2.1.21. Updating to the latest stable Kotlin version ensures the best experience.

This version also requires K2 mode, so make sure to enable it: in Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Kotlin, check Enable K2 mode.
