CrashKiOS - 1.8 Beta Testing

[KatieGalvin]

Perform the list of sanity checks on your work projects (it mostly consists of basic actions).

• Compile your project with a current Kotlin version.
• Check the highlighting in different IDE modules.
• Compile the project with the EAP Kotlin version and install the EAP IDE plugin.
• Verify that the project re-imported successfully.
• Check that highlighting from p.2 works not worse than before.
• Compile the project again and look for new surprising warnings.
• Change something in the code and check if incremental compilation works.
• Run your tests with a new Kotlin version.
• Stop at some well-known piece of code, run the debugger and try stepping.
• Look for performance issues in compilation, runtime, re-import or IDE behavior.

Pay additional attention to these features and subsystems if applicable to your use case:

• Kotlin Gradle plugin: lots of changes in all typical usage scenarios
• The new Gradle Incremental compilation, which we plan to stabilize soon
• Expose compiler flags via Gradle lazy properties
• Ability to not fallback with compiler daemon by default
• arm64 support for watchOS targets
• Xcode 14 and new Objective-C frameworks support in Kotlin/Native
