Phase 4, third step, of docs/material-design-conformance.md. `Text("Add chapter to
${uiState.artifact.name}")` becomes a resource holding `Add chapter to %1$s` and a call
passing the expression. 49 call sites. Literals in composables go 76 -> 39;
`stringResource` goes 374 -> 424.
**A silent bug in the previous commit's extractor, found by this one.** Imports were
tested with `statement in source`, and the generated accessors are named after their
strings -- so `import mantra.composeapp.generated.resources.translate` is a *prefix* of
`...resources.translate_into_which_dialect`. The substring test decided the import was
already there, and the compiler reported "Unresolved reference 'translate'" in a file
whose imports looked complete. Both extractors now match whole lines, and the helper
carries the explanation.
**Four filters, each earned by something the dry run got wrong.**
*A template that is only interpolation has nothing to translate.* `Text("$name")` would
have become a resource holding `%1$s` -- longer, slower, and no more localisable than the
code it replaced.
*A leading or trailing space means it is being glued to a neighbour.* " \\u00b7 %1$s" is a
separator. The test has to be on the format string rather than on the literal halves: a
template opening with an interpolation leaves the first part empty and the second starting
with the separating space, which makes "%1$s Key packages" look like a fragment when it is
a whole label.
*`\\uXXXX` and `\\"` are Kotlin syntax, not XML.* Left alone they would have shipped as the
six visible characters of the escape. They are decoded into the resource, which is UTF-8
and can hold `·` directly. `\\n` is **not** decoded, because
StringCatalogueJvmTest shows Compose Resources processes that one and a real newline in an
XML value would be reflowed by the parser.
*A term of a `+` concatenation is still not a string.* Same rule as the plain extractor.
**Three copy problems surfaced only here, because interpolated strings had never been
checked.** `m3-title-case.py` excludes anything containing `$` -- an interpolation is not a
literal -- so `"$count Key Packages"` had been invisible to every pass so far, as had
`"replying To ${…}"`. And a third instance of the old product name, in
`"...once they're on Torch."`. All three fixed. Worth noting as a gap in the checker rather
than a one-off: title case inside a template is still unchecked, and there are 83
concatenation fragments left where it could hide.
**Two new assertions, on the two things a compiler cannot see.** Argument *order* is
decided by where each `${…}` sat, and a transposition compiles and reads plausibly --
"Recovered 3 of 12" against "Recovered 12 of 3" -- so a two-argument and a three-argument
string are asserted end to end. The three-argument one doubles as the check that `·`
was decoded rather than passed through.
**What is deliberately left.** 83 literals that are terms of a `+` concatenation.
Reassembling `"a " + x + " b"` into one format string means deciding what the whole
sentence is, and several are pluralisations -- `(if (n == 2) "event" else "events")` --
which want a real plural resource rather than a format argument, and that is an API choice
rather than a rewrite. `m3-extract-formatted.py --remaining` lists them.
**Tests.** 949 pass, 600 jvm over 73 classes and 349 android over 44, up from 947/598/349.
`:composeApp:compileDebugKotlinAndroid` builds; the debug apk installs and runs on
emulator-5554 through onboarding, the message list and a chat room with its text intact.
`m3-audit.sh --check` exits 0.

This is a Kotlin Multiplatform project targeting Android, iOS, Desktop (JVM).
-
/composeApp is for code that will be shared across your Compose Multiplatform applications. It contains several subfolders:
- commonMain is for code that’s common for all targets.
- Other folders are for Kotlin code that will be compiled for only the platform indicated in the folder name. For example, if you want to use Apple’s CoreCrypto for the iOS part of your Kotlin app, the iosMain folder would be the right place for such calls. Similarly, if you want to edit the Desktop (JVM) specific part, the jvmMain folder is the appropriate location.
-
/iosApp contains iOS applications. Even if you’re sharing your UI with Compose Multiplatform, you need this entry point for your iOS app. This is also where you should add SwiftUI code for your project.
Build and Run Android Application
To build and run the development version of the Android app, use the run configuration from the run widget in your IDE’s toolbar or build it directly from the terminal:
- on macOS/Linux
./gradlew :composeApp:assembleDebug - on Windows
.\gradlew.bat :composeApp:assembleDebug
Build and Run Desktop (JVM) Application
To build and run the development version of the desktop app, use the run configuration from the run widget in your IDE’s toolbar or run it directly from the terminal:
- on macOS/Linux
./gradlew :composeApp:run - on Windows
.\gradlew.bat :composeApp:run
Build and Run iOS Application
To build and run the development version of the iOS app, use the run configuration from the run widget in your IDE’s toolbar or open the /iosApp directory in Xcode and run it from there.
