So yes after getting my hands dirty with Kotlin multiplatform the obvious next step would be to try Compose multiplatform. Which I did. And yes it’s a game changer.

The @expo.dev examples repo is a great resource for bootstrapping your next big app idea. The templates can be pulled via the create-expo-app command. I’m trying out the with-tv example which supports tvOS & Android TV platforms 📺🚀

And of course the solution is to override the JAVA_HOME while running the gradle job from Xcode

The real struggle with adopting Kotlin Multiplatform is..

All Apple framework documentation back in the Objective-C days

I just found out you can right-click an error on #Godot console, and if it's a engine internal error it opens the exact line in the repo source code :O (yeah I'm new to all this)

Turbo Modules 🙏

Yes this code makes no sense. Because even before async nobody used to write selectors with completion handlers. But I recently saw a piece of code with selector marked as async and then some real async job in there that always crashed at runtime.
