Syntax highlighting not working for iosApp

I am following the hands on tutorial on KMM, and reached the point where I should write the iOS part of the app, however, when I head over to any of the .swift files, there's no syntax highlighting, the content appears as a plain text file.

enter image description here

  • Android Studio: 4.1.1 (latest at the moment of writing)
  • KMM Plugin: 0.2.0-release-65-Studio4.1 (latest at the moment of writing)

From what I see, the iosApp is not recognized at all as a module (like the androidApp, that has the name of the module highlighted via bold font), I suppose that is the issue.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Solution

  • You'll need to use Xcode or (possibly) AppCode. Android Studio and the KMM plugin do not understand or highlight Swift code directly.
