Kotlinx DateTime - Supabase incompatibility

[Maartens-Mathew]

Platform:
Android

So recently, there have been some changes to Kotlinx.DateTime. I'm aware of in the past month or so, some code has moved from the Kotlinx.DateTime to Kotlin.Time . Which code specifically, I don't know.

Issue Encountered:
The Powersync SDK appears to try to access a Kotlinx.DateTime static function that does not exist:

I have the following gradle dependency versions:

Gradle Dependencies:

• Powersync Core and Supabase Connector : 1.3.0
• Supabase BOM : 3.2.0
• KotlinX Serialization : 2.2.0
• Kotlin : 2.2.0
• Ktor : 3.2.3

When I have the above dependencies, then the android app runs successfully (no crashes). However, as soon as I change the Supabase BOM to 3.2.1, it gives the above error. Now, I previously thought that the fault could be their library, but in the error message, it appears that the error originates from a bunch of Powersync files.

Also note that from Supabase BOM 3.2.1 onwards, they upgraded their Kotlinx.DateTime dependency to 0.7.1, which was when there were changes to the whole DateTime. It appears that the Powersync SDK is trying to access a Kotlinx.DateTime method, but the method no longer exists.

Thanks for reaching out. We are aware of the kotlinx.datetime migration and that we're currently incompatible with it. I'm very keen on fixing this, but unfortunately:

1. We can't upgrade the kotlinx.date dependency alone, because if we keep using an older Supabase version then there will be the same error in that library.
2. When I've tried to update the Supabase dependency, we also had to update the Kotlin version we use to compile our SDK (probably due to Kotlin/Native ABI incompatibilities).
3. And that unfortunately is currently blocked on SKIE 0.10.4 and Kotlin 2.2.0 can't create macOS frameworks touchlab/SKIE#162.

So unfortunately we're in a bit of a tough spot here, but we're talking to Touchlab about that issue and hope to get it resolved soon. With that, we should be able to update both our kotlinx.date and Supabase dependencies and resolve this.
