Can I develop Kotlin by actually debugging in the emulator like in Flutter but this is not a Flutter app?

I’ll try this on android template later (edit: apologies, I have no idea how to create a Koltin android project without android studio, but you can probably generate one with android studio then upload it onto IDX, maybe) packages = [pkgs.kotlin pkgs.gradle pkgs.jdk # OR (maybe) pkgs.temurin-bin]; idx = { extensions = ["fwcd.kotlin"]; }

But yes, technically you can do it, but there aren’t any official kotlin support for VSCode, so you’ll have to rely on a third party plugin  
(sadly, I don’t know if the plugin work well or not, so you’ll have to experiment with it)
