The application is open-source and available via a live demo and GitHub repository.
A resource leak occurs in Kotlin Multiplatform apps when iOS repeatedly observes shared Kotlin Flow without proper cancellation. The leak happens when Swift view models call observation functions multiple times without canceling previous jobs. This creates lingering coroutine jobs that continue running and consuming resources even when the view model is deallocated. Developers can fix the issue by implementing proper cancellation logic or modifying the CommonFlow wrapper to automatically cancel previous jobs.
A developer has created Touch Grass Quest, a mobile game that encourages people to go outdoors. The app provides daily scavenger hunt quests, such as finding specific natural objects. Users must take photos using the in-app camera, which are then analyzed by an AI model running directly on their device. The game rewards successful finds with experience points that grow a virtual plant and unlock digital stamps. It was developed as part of the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge.
