SKIE 0.10.15 has been released...which means I've been able to update PeopleInSpace KMP sample to Kotlin 2.4.20! github.com/joreilly/Peo...

Agenda for @droidcon.bsky.social London now in Confetti (github.com/joreilly/Con...)

Using new Jetpack Compose A2UI library to show UI (cards, charts, tabs etc) generated by a Koog based AI agent in the ClimateTrace sample, including custom components and handling user actions @androiddevs.bsky.social johnoreilly.dev/posts/a2ui-c... Really cool to see these capabilities emerging!

Rendering AI agent generated UI using Jetpack Compose A2UI and Koog

A2UI is a protocol that allows an AI agent to describe a user interface as JSON which the client then renders using its own native components (the agent can only make use of components from a “catalog...

I asked Claude to improve the UX for the Chip-8 #KMP sample (github.com/joreilly/chi...) and really like what it did....including cool Phosphor CRT display UI!

BikeShare #KMP/#CMP sample (github.com/joreilly/Bik...) updated to use the MapComposeMP library (github.com/p-lr/MapComp...) in the Android, Desktop and Web Compose Multiplatform clients. The SwiftUI iOS client is still using MapKit.

I started reimplementing nice iOS and web UI showcases in Compose for desktop, together with @csinco.com. They're vibe coded, because the point is "anyone can do this today if they want to". You can find them on github.com/rock3r/biopa..., and we'll keep on growing it!

TIL you can get IntelliJ to sync project with later AGP version than it officially supports (e.g. one that Android Studio supports and is sometimes required for latest Compose etc) by setting following in idea.properties gradle.ide.support.future.agp.versions=true

Claude very handy for this 😀. This is using the MCP server from the FantasyPremierLeague KMP sample (github.com/joreilly/Fan...) ...which was developed in turn using the Kotlin MCP SDK (github.com/modelcontext...).

Making some small changes to SwiftUI iOS client in the PeopleInSpace #KMP sample (github.com/joreilly/Peo...) to allow rendering of list/detail as shown here on iPhone Duo simulator (needed to start using NavigationSplitView).

GalwayBus (github.com/joreilly/Gal...) Compose Multiplatform application running on iPhone Duo simulator (using Xcode 27.1 beta). Not fully taking advantage of form factor yet but cool to see it running.

Xcode 27.1 beta available now....with iPhone Duo support

Some of sessions from @droidcon.bsky.social London 10 years ago! Quite different topics back then....not even a hint of AI 😀

Compose Multiplatform client → AG-UI → Google ADK agent (Kotlin) → MCP server for tools. #Kotlin the whole way down! • AG-UI Kotlin SDK — github.com/ag-ui-protoc... • Google ADK for Kotlin — github.com/google/adk-k... • Kotlin MCP SDK — github.com/modelcontext...

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Xcode 27.2 beta available but no support for iPhone Duo yet 🙁

Änderungsschleifenerlösung The profound sense of spiritual and physical salvation experienced at the exact moment you click "Merge Pull Request" after surviving a grueling, seemingly endless cycle of code reviews and requested changes. 😀

Just bought ticket for @kotlinconf.com 2027 (kotlinconf.com). Really looking forward to my first visit to Kraków! 🇵🇱

Gradually migrating a number of #KMP samples to use Swift Export instead of SKIE. In this case was only possible since Kotlin 2.4.20 release (with support for Swift subclassing an exported Kotlin class) github.com/joreilly/Fir...

Summary Swift export now covers everything SKIE was doing in this repo: Kotlin suspend functions map to Swift async throws , and Swift implements the Kotlin GenerativeModel interface directly. Swif...

Google have just released version 1.0 of the Gen AI SDK for Kotlin, an idiomatic Kotlin client for the Gemini APIs. Up to now, calling Gemini from Kotlin has generally meant use of one of the Firebase...

The #Google GenAI SDK for @Kotlin is now 1.0! If you build on #Android, #Ktor, #SpringBoot, or desktop Kotlin apps, you now have an idiomatic Kotlin Multiplatform library to interact with #Gemini. Here is a quick tour of what is inside 🧵👇

Recordings for @kotlinconf.com 2026 sessions are now available in Confetti (github.com/joreilly/Con...) ....and of course in the official KotlinConf app as well! Thanks @zsmb.co

PeopleInSpace (github.com/joreilly/Peo...) now has a Windows client 🪟 A WinUI 3 app consuming the same Kotlin Multiplatform shared code....via a new mingwX64 target packed into a NuGet package with kotlin-native-nuget (github.com/xxfast/kotli...). Great work by @xxfast.bsky.social 🙌

The Pragmatic Programmer (a.co/d/0jeAYXZt) 27 years ago compared software development to tending an organic, evolving garden. I think most, if not all, aspects of that metaphor still hold in the era of AI coding agents but now including elements of industrial farming! 😀
