Logger solution for Kotlin MPP

[takahirom]

Kind (Required)

• Improvement

Overview (Required)

• We tried arbor but it does not support Kotlin Native

I want a library that has the following elements:

• Interface that does not need to declare fields etc. every time like Timber
• Can be flexibly sent to crashlytics etc. like Timber
• It is compatible with recent Kotlin versions.
• Supports kotlin native

@takahirom How about AAKira/Napier ? This logger library is inspired by Timber which you desire.

This features

• sending to Crashlytics
• looks simple interface (to me)
• again, inspired by Timber

If this is not suit for this project, it may be good to see AAKira/Kotlin-Multiplatform-Libraries to look for another suitable library.

Thank you for your suggestion. I was worried that there was no update recently. 😅 However, this library uses Kotlin 1.4.0, and ABI compatibility version is 1.4.1, so there seems to be no problem. https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/v1.4.0/compiler/util-klib/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/library/KotlinAbiVersion.kt#L34 There is no problem from the ABI side, but there is a risk that code highlighting will not work on iOS if it does not support the hierarchical structure. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/mpp-share-on-platforms.html#use-target-shortcuts

However, regarding the hierarchical structure, other libraries are the same, so it seems that it is okay to include it. 👍
