Prerequisites

Kotlin side (library author)

JDK 17+
Gradle, via the included wrapper (./gradlew)
.NET SDK 8.0+, only if you bind a NuGet package into Kotlin (nuget { dependencies { dependency(...) { bind { ... } } } }). Publishing needs no .NET SDK: packNuget writes the .nupkg itself.
If a .NET SDK is on PATH, packNuget also compiles the generated C# bindings before packing and fails the build on a compiler error. Without the SDK (or one that can't run), this check is skipped with a warning and publishing proceeds as before. See Gradle tasks.

C# side (consumer)

.NET SDK 8.0+

brew install dotnet

Bindings are pre-generated at Kotlin compile time via KSP, so the consumer needs no additional tooling.

Compatibility

kotlin-native-nuget	Kotlin	KSP	Gradle	JDK	.NET
`0.2.0` – `0.7.0`	`2.4.10`	`2.3.10`	`9.1`	17+	`8.0`+
`0.1.0`	`2.4.0`	`2.3.9`	`9.1`	17+	`8.0`+

KSP is pinned to its Kotlin version, so bumping Kotlin without bumping the plugin is not supported.

Supported native targets

The plugin maps Kotlin/Native targets to NuGet runtime identifiers (RIDs), used for the runtimes/{rid}/native/ package layout:

Kotlin target	RID	Exercised in CI
`mingwX64`	`win-x64`	Yes
`macosArm64`	`osx-arm64`	Yes
`macosX64`	`osx-x64`	No
`linuxX64`	`linux-x64`	No
`linuxArm64`	`linux-arm64`	No

A target outside this table is skipped with a warning, and if no configured target is supported, the plugin skips the whole project for that build. See Getting started for target configuration.
