Hi,

Can anyone tell me please if AppDynamics provides any support or extensions for applications developed and delivered in KOTLIN?

John,

Is your Kotlin code on the server side, or in a mobile application?

So far, we have had almost no asks for kotlin support on the server side, so we have not investigated what out-of-the-box configuration the language and its frameworks might need.

That said, like other JVM-based languages, it should work, given appropriate configuration of custom entry points and the like.

Warm regards,
Peter

Well then let me add a voice for Kotlin support One point in adding more official support is also keeping in touch with the upcoming market. That your current customers have not asked might be fine for them, but more and more new projects are developed in Kotlin, so by the requests you haven't gotten might be due to people finding another product and thus never voicing there wish.

Rohde,

Can I ask what kind of server-side projects you are developing using kotlin, and which frameworks you are using?

Warm regards,
Peter

Due to NDA restrictions, I can't say much about the kind of projects I'm working on, but hopefully, I can describe enough.

We are working on REST services using normal APIs with JSON payloads. Currently, there is a web frontend, but it is intended for system-to-system usage in the long run.

The main frameworks (and services, not sure how relevant they are though) we are using are: Spring Boot, Flyway, Slf4j/Log4j2, Postgresql, Jackson and Gson. And yes, no Hibernate (thanks sanity)

If relevant, it's intended to be deployed using a Red Hat-based OpenJDK docker image.

I hope it's enough to help. I will try to answer to the best of my ability, but as it figures, the NDA puts a lot of limits.

Hello, @Shehab.Osama 

I'm wondering if you had seen this information about instrumenting Android apps with Gradle? Not sure whether it will answer your question. Will you let us know here?

Hello, @Claudia.Landivar

the problem is solved by adding closure in Gradle kotlin kts 

 adeum {
           account(closureOf<com.appdynamics.android.gradle.ADPluginExtension.Account> {
            this.name ="xxx"
            this.licenseKey ="yyy"
    
        })
        proguardMappingFileUpload(closureOf<com.appdynamics.android.gradle.ADPluginExtension.ProguardConfig> {
            this.failBuildOnUploadFailure = true
            this.enabled = true
        })
    }

please update your documentation for this case, KTS is spreading now in Android development community
