Hello, I wish to use the Appwrite client in my Kotlin multiplatform project, which targets Android, iOS, web, and desktop clients. AFAIK, there is a lack of client SDKs for desktop (Linux, Windows). So, I have two questions:

Is there a plan to support Linux and Windows clients as well?
Does it make sense to create such a wrapper?

Summary

The user is asking if there are plans to support Appwrite client SDKs for Linux and Windows, and if it would make sense for them to create their own wrapper. The response from the support team is that the Kotlin SDK is meant for server-side use and they do not have the resources to create a Kotlin client SDK. However, the user can create a feature request and contribute a Kotlin client SDK to the SDK generator repository. The support team also suggests generating a REST wrapper from the specifications.

I'll let appwrite team answer, but I suggest to create a rest wrapper, you can autogenerate it from specs : https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/tree/master/app/config/specs

The kotlin SDK is meant to be used server side and we won't change that.

I don't think we have the resources to work on creating a kotlin client SDK. You could create a feature request though and if there is a lot of 👍 it would move up on our radar.

You could maybe contribute a kotlin client SDK but it would need to be into the SDK generator repo.
