Targets Reference¶

Every target Kotlin Multiplatform (KGP 2.3.21) supports, except the deprecated linuxArm32Hfp. The same vocabulary works in the supports { } DSL, the kmptargets.targets property, and CI matrix values.

Leaves¶

Family	Targets
JVM	`androidTarget` (alias `android`), `jvm` (alias `desktop`)
iOS	`iosArm64`, `iosSimulatorArm64`, `iosX64`
macOS	`macosArm64`, `macosX64`
watchOS	`watchosArm64`, `watchosArm32`, `watchosX64`, `watchosSimulatorArm64`, `watchosDeviceArm64`
tvOS	`tvosArm64`, `tvosX64`, `tvosSimulatorArm64`
Linux	`linuxX64`, `linuxArm64`
MinGW	`mingwX64`
Android Native	`androidNativeArm32`, `androidNativeArm64`, `androidNativeX86`, `androidNativeX64`
Web	`js`, `wasmJs`, `wasmWasi`

Every leaf also accepts a kebab-case alias (e.g. watchos-sim-arm64, linux-x64, android-native-arm64), and parsing is case-insensitive.

Presets¶

Preset	Expands to
`all`	every shipped target
`native`	every Kotlin/Native target (Apple + Linux + MinGW + Android Native)
`apple`	all Apple platforms: iOS + macOS + watchOS + tvOS
`appleMobile` / `appleDesktop`	all iOS / all macOS
`appleWatch` / `appleTv`	all watchOS / all tvOS
`linux`	`linuxX64`, `linuxArm64`
`mingw` (alias `windows`)	`mingwX64`
`androidNative`	the four `androidNative*` targets
`web`	`js`, `wasmJs`, `wasmWasi`
`jvmFamily`	`androidTarget`, `jvm`
`mobile`	`androidTarget` + all iOS

Membership clarifications¶

jvmFamily includes Android — it is {androidTarget, jvm}, the two JVM-bytecode leaves, not just jvm.
mobile = androidTarget + the iOS leaves (iosArm64, iosSimulatorArm64, iosX64) — no watchOS, no macOS.
androidNative ≠ androidTarget — the four androidNative* leaves are Kotlin/Native NDK targets; the Android app target is androidTarget (alias android).
Aliases: android → androidTarget, desktop → jvm, windows → mingw. The alias and the canonical name are interchangeable in every layer.
Bare sub-family names are rejected: ios, macos, watchos, tvos fail parsing with a hint pointing at the relevant leaf or appleX preset — they would be ambiguous between "all leaves" and "the device leaf".

Deprecated leaves¶

Kotlin marks macosX64, watchosX64, and tvosX64 deprecated (since Kotlin 2.3.20). They stay selectable and stay in every preset (appleDesktop still expands to both macOS leaves) — registering one logs a deprecated-target advisory, and kmpTargetsInfo annotates them (deprecated) in its vocabulary listing. (iosX64 is low-tier but not deprecated.)

Composing¶

Presets and leaves compose with + / - in the DSL and with , / - / + in the property grammar:

kmpTargets { supports { mobile + web - iosX64 } }

kmptargets.targets=appleMobile,-iosArm64,+jvm
