An Xcode plugin and CLI manager that adds Kotlin language support and LLDB-based debugging for Kotlin Native code running in iOS apps. It enables iOS developers working with Kotlin Multiplatform shared code to debug and browse Kotlin directly from Xcode.

Use cases

  • debug Kotlin Multiplatform shared code from Xcode
  • add Kotlin syntax highlighting to Xcode
  • set breakpoints in Kotlin code while debugging an iOS app
  • manage xcode-kotlin plugin installs across multiple Xcode versions
  • inspect Kotlin objects in the Xcode LLDB debugger
  • improve iOS developer experience when adopting Kotlin Multiplatform

When to choose

  • your team builds iOS apps with Kotlin Multiplatform shared code
  • iOS developers need to debug Kotlin Native code inside Xcode
  • you want Kotlin syntax highlighting and LLDB formatting in Xcode
  • you maintain multiple Xcode installations and need automatic plugin sync

When to avoid

  • you develop pure Swift iOS apps with no Kotlin shared code
  • you use Android Studio or IntelliJ for all Kotlin debugging
  • your Xcode version is unsupported or you cannot modify plugin directories
  • you only need Kotlin browsing without debugging and prefer lightweight tooling
