Everythings just works, but how to debug via break point?

I use IDEA(Gradle) to build and Xcode to deploy.

Don’t know where to put the break point.

It was discussed some time ago. IDEA does not support native debugging for now, so you will have to do it in [Clion](https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2017/11/kotlinnative-ide-support-preview/).

Though I have [tried](https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/kotin-native-and-clion-problems/5262) it and it still is not very convenient. For example, Clion does not support gradle.

Thanks, saw that. But no iOS only template but a full stack one which has too much information there.

Could we just use CLion for debug and IDEA for building and Xcode for building UI?

In master branch, and in upcoming 0.5 release there are `calculator` sample.

Thanks, found it.  
Glad that we can use `swift` in conjunction with `kotlin`.  
And by using swift, we can debug the UI part easily!
