RoboVM code can be stopped only when code reach instrumented hook callbacks (ones that being injected after every line by compiler). As result pausing application will in most cases not stop the application and will not show valid call stack:

Root case

• Thread state is not delivered from VM to debugger so always reported as running;
• “Paused” thread doesn’t show any call stack due no ability to pause it other places than instrumented hooks code;

Approach

Issue was reported on gitter and caused crash inside ObjC library of RoboVM with following stacktrace:

0 _mapStrHash(_NXMapTable*, void const*) + 4
1 _NXMapMember(_NXMapTable*, void const*, void**) + 52
2 NXMapGet + 20
3 getProtocol(char const*) + 28
4 class_copyProtocolList + 328
5 [J]org.robovm.objc.ObjCRuntime.class_copyProtocolList(JJ)J + 4358277632

Issue was reproduced on iOS12 simulator. Sample was simplified to following RoboVM/Java snippet:

Apple Silicon proposed in PR586. It includes:

• m1 arm64 version of llvm, ilibmobiledevice, hfsconmpressor libraries to allow it being used with arm64 version of java;
• support for arm64 iOS simulator and arm64 MacOSX console target.

How fast it is (compiling classes using 8 threads):

(Mac Mini m1): Compiled 3317 classes in 36.45 seconds
(Mac Pro W3565): Compiled 3317 classes in 111.60 seconds
(MacBook Pro, i5-4278U @ 4 threads): Compiled 3317 classes in 219.09 seconds

How to use

Available at Idea Marketplace (for AndroidStudio as well), also IDE plugins are available for download.

Please report any issue to tracker.

Android has kotlinx-coroutines-android Dispatcher.Main that coroutine execution on main/ui thread.
It allows writing an effective suspend logic on main thread as described on the usage page:

fun setup(hello: Text, fab: Circle) {
    GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main) { // launch coroutine in the main thread
        for (i in 10 downTo 1) { // countdown from 10 to 1 
            hello.text = "Countdown $i ..." // update text
            delay(500) // wait half a second
        }
        hello.text = "Done!"
    }
}

Overview

To make Dispatchers.Main available to kotlinx following steps to be done:

Alt-pods binding process includes time-consuming preparation activities like download binaries/copy/update versions etc. An attempt to automate these was made and messy scripts/dumpdeps.kts was born.
It automates following flow:

• gives instruction where to download framework to;
• deletes header files in bro/ folder and copies new;
• deletes java/ folder with existing bindings;
• invokes bro-gen script to perform binding;
• tries to fetch version information from where possible;
• updates version information in pom.xml/readme files;
• can process multiple frameworks in multi-thread mode;

Also its kotlin-script, and it can be debugged in Idea.
