What’s New in the Koin IDE Plugin & Kotzilla Platform — April 2025

Our latest update introduces a handful of simple but impactful improvements across the platform — from config checks in the Koin IDE Plugin to more intelligent issue prioritization in the Console.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s new.

🧩 Koin IDE Plugin 1.0.5

Improved static checks + a smoother SDK setup flow

If you’re using the plugin day to day, this release brings some refinements that make working with larger or more modular Koin projects feel a bit more solid.

• Qualified Koin declarations are now supported
  Static analysis now picks up named bindings and qualifiers — helpful if you're working across modules or using more structured DI patterns.

• More accurate config checks
  Based on community feedback, we’ve resolved a number of false positives and added better support for binding declarations. These changes make the plugin’s warnings feel more reliable.

⚡ SDK Installation Wizard (Android-first)

If you haven’t connected your project to the Kotzilla Platform yet, the new SDK Wizard can now handle the setup for Android projects. You’ll find it in the SDK tab of the plugin’s Koin Insights view.

The wizard takes care of:

• Adding the Kotzilla Gradle plugin

• Updating your app-level build.gradle

• Generating your kotzilla.json with the correct API key

• Inserting the analytics() call in your Application class to start the SDK

Just drop in your app name and package ID, sync, and run — session capture starts automatically.

📌 Manual setup guides are still available for KMP and library projects in the same tab.

📊 Kotzilla Console v1.12

Better issue categorization, severity scoring, and version comparisons

This update brings some long-requested improvements to help you sort through issues faster and make more informed decisions.

• New issue categories
  Issues are now grouped by type:

  • Crashes (unhandled exceptions)

  • Performance (slow startups, blocked threads, resolution delays)

  • Architecture (dependency graph complexity)

    

• Severity levels
  Each issue is now tagged Critical, High, Medium, or Low, using an Apdex-style system that scores how far it deviates from expected performance. It’s a simple way to surface high-impact problems first.

• Version comparison
  You can now compare two app versions to assess regressions or improvements. This includes:

  • Total sessions

  • Number of issues

  • Affected devices

  • Average session duration

Just select the builds — the Console handles the rest.

🧭 New ways to explore issues

Two updated views make it easier to investigate recurring problems:

• All Issues View — now includes severity visualization alongside issue type. Issues can be filtered by severity and type. You can also filter by date, app version, impacted class, and even use full-text search.

  

• Issues by Class View — a new perspective that groups issues by impacted class (like a specific ViewModel, repository, or background worker).

  

This helps surface which parts of your app are repeatedly involved in issues — and might need a closer look.

🔍 Smaller improvements worth knowing about:

• Issue Detail View: now shows key info up front, including resolution times for performance issues.

• Timeline View: includes a side drawer that summarizes session issues at a glance.

  

• Saved filters: your filters now persist across views, so you don’t lose your context while navigating.

  

🧱 Kotzilla SDK configuration with Gradle Version Catalog

Using Gradle Version Catalog?
We’ve published a a setup guide specifically for that workflow — one of the most requested pieces of documentation. Thanks to everyone who asked for it!
