How to get access to this library

[carlos-prezzee]

Hello Datadog team,

Great to see this SDK available! 🎉

I am wondering how do I get access to the SDK access?
When creating a new RUM application I don't see a Kotlin Multiplatform option yet.

Also, I have an existing Android & iOS RUM apps. Would the this SDK still connect to those applications? I would I need to create a separate one.

In my current setup I am sharing code using KMP but the UI still native on both. I got a workaround to send logs from KMP to Android but if I can use this SDK directly, it will simplify the integration

Thanks

Hello @carlos-prezzee! To get an access to the Kotlin Multiplatform SDK you need to open a ticket with our support, so that we can activate it for your org.

Speaking of reporting, it still depends on your use-case: if you want to completely migrate to KMP SDK it is better to create a dedicated RUM application, but nothing prevents to use this SDK as an addition to the Android / iOS SDKs you already have (the only concern may be only the versioning for the native SDKs being used).

Preferably it should match, yes. But if there is a mismatch, it will still work, the main concern is the compilation on iOS in that case.

Thanks for the advice - will try it out

@0xnm on the setup when you have already native SDK being initialised in the native parts.
Do you still have to init the KMP SDK as well?

// in common source set
 fun initializeDatadog(context: Any? = null) {
     // context should be application context on Android and can be null on iOS
     val appClientToken = <CLIENT_TOKEN>
     val appEnvironment = <ENV_NAME>
     val appVariantName = <APP_VARIANT_NAME>

     val configuration = Configuration.Builder(
             clientToken = appClientToken,
             env = appEnvironment,
             variant = appVariantName
     )
         .build()

     Datadog.initialize(context, configuration, trackingConsent)
 }

No, in this case you don't need to. KMP SDK is using native SDKs under the hood.

I was trying to test the integration in my existing project but it didn't work. From the documentation it seems that the only possible ways to integrate are either with Cocoapods or embeded frameworks right?

I currently create an XCFramework from my KMP module and ingrate it via SPM to iOS. Is this mode supported?

output:
ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-ldl'
ld: framework 'DatadogObjc' not found
Task :linkReleaseFrameworkIosArm64 FAILED

Update:

Seems like I am running into this same issue #94

Following up the conversation there
