kotlin multiplatform testing does not work in new project template - android-studio

I'm trying to follow the steps on https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kmm-create-first-app.html#run-tests-on-android to get started with multiplatform development. Except no tests are run when I click the icon in the gutter or when I use gradle test

KMM Project Build for iOS Without Running

Maybe I'm just missing something but is there a way to trigger the iOS build in Android Studio for a KMM project that doesn't launch the simulator once the build is done?
When looking at the iosApp run configuration I see it has "Build iOS application" listed under "Before Launch" which makes me suspect this is possible but I didn't see it listed as a gradle task or anywhere else I could think of.
I've been doing the iOS work in Xcode and when I make changes to the shared code I want to rebuild it without running the app (which I've been doing from inside Xcode).
Not exactly a solution, but I found that when you hit build in Xcode it builds the Kotlin code so any changes to the shared module are included automatically. No need to do iOS builds from Android Studio.

Flutter UI Guides not showing in Android Studio

In Android Studio V4.1.3 (build no. Al-201.8743.12.41.7199119) The Flutter UI guides for widgets and methods not showing at all even though it is enabled in the settings. Please, be kind to see the screenshot =>
no Flutter UI guides
I have Flutter Plugin V55.1.1 and Dart Plugin V201.9335 installed.
All your help is highly appreciated.
Thank you
You might be creating the new Flutter project and selecting Java for Android. But when you select Kotlin and create project. The issue will be fixed.
And if you want your old projects to be converted to Kotlin, just open the terminal in that project and run this
run flutter create -a kotlin .
The dot(.) at the end is also important it will generate the Kotlin files in current directory.
After this, just re-open the project, you'll get the guides.
I have the same android studio version as you and Flutter Plugin V55.1.1 and Dart Plugin V201.9380 installed. Getting the same issue. I have even tried to enable and disable the "Show UI guidelines for build methods" in Setting > Language & Frameworks > Flutter, but nothings work.
I cloned flutter/sample from GitHub and it seem that the UI guides is showing on that samples project.
My current (kinda easy cheat) solution right now is by creating a New Flutter application project via VS Code. And when I open that flutter project on Android studio, the UI guides is there. I have configure my VS Code with the recommended setting for Dart code.
Tutorial to configure your VS Code reference: https://youtu.be/nAmOt5_fMtU?t=278
I'm pretty new in flutter development but I'm pretty sure there might be something that we can configure on Android Studio seeing that generated project file from VS Code does shows the UI guideline. If someone know how do let me know. Cheers!

Android NDK - how to run tests using Catch C++ Test Framework

Using Android Studio, Adding a Library to build.gradle

I'm using Android Studio, and I'm trying to add the slf4j library using
Build/Edit Libraries and Dependencies.
I clicked on the +, selected Library Dependency, and picked slf4j from the list. Studio added the library to my build.gradle file like this:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1'
compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-android:1.7.7'
...
But when I try to run sync, I get this error:
Error:(75, 10) Failed to resolve: org.slf4j:slf4j-android:1.7.7
Is there something else I need to do to my project to be able to use this library??
Turns out what was causing this issue for me (and likely for you, given the build file above) was the Scala plugin. There was a bug with the Scala plugin preventing Android Studio from importing Gradle projects. The fix for this has already been pushed live, so to get Android Studio working again you can either disable the Scala plugin or update it.
Open Settings/Preferences
Open the Plugins section on the left
Find the Scala plugin
Right click on the plugin and click Reload List of Plugins
Right click on the plugin again and click Update Plugin
This allowed me to do a Gradle sync and build from Android Studio again, I hope it helps for you!
It looks like this is a bug with Android Studio. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
In the meantime, you can debug your application without launching it from Android Studio by attaching the debugger to a running process of the application. You can do this two ways.
Via the menus: Run -> Attach Debugger to Android Process
Pressing the button that is two to the right of the play/build button. It looks like a grey phone/rectangle with a little green bug in the bottom right
After you do this, a dialog will show up listing available applications to debug. Select your application and press OK. Your breakpoints should now work.
If you need to debug something that happens on app startup, you can tell Android to wait for a debugger when launching certain applications with the following steps:
On the phone open the Android Settings
Open the Developer Options
Make sure Wait for debugger is checked
Press Select debug app and choose your application
Then when you start your application, it'll wait for you to attach a debugger via one of the two methods mentioned above.
Hope this helps!
In order to get the maven repository working with my Android Studio project (which I didn't know is what I was trying to do), I needed to add the following to build.gradle:
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
Apparently, that allows the software to work out the compile commands.
