Using GoogleMap Android composable in Desktop
Can Android elements like e.g. GoogleMap be used for a desktop app using compose-jb?
I am interested in what would make it Android-specific or not. Is it just the fact that it is packaged as an .aar, or is there something more fundamental?
From https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/maps-compose#installation - a required dependency is com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps and that is not something that exists for Desktop.
Yes, it should be ported.
Looking at the source code, it seems it is written from scratch on Compose, uses some Android API (like Location API) and, as Kirill mentioned, uses an Android library com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps (that communicates with Google Maps API probably). The Compose code itself can be easely ported, not sure about com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps.
@igordmn Did you test that we can use Android components on the KMP desktop?

Closing because I am not interested anymore. Rather I am looking at MapLibre for Compose Multiplatform: https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native/issues/2638.
Please check the following ticket on YouTrack for follow-ups to this issue. GitHub issues will be closed in the coming weeks.
