Kotlin debugger uses bytecode inspections to implement some of its features. These inspections are JVM specific, so they don't work on ART.

The list of all bytecode inspections used by the debugger and their statuses: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lKJ1qgZ-CKylMN4YRT8hSDSFHXP9fKqmYfk1eyuNQmQ/edit?usp=sharing

Accepted by ni...@google.com.

As far as I can tell, the "Show Kotlin Bytecode" action is an internal debugging tool which in my opinion should never have been exposed to end users.

The code is not integrated with the build output - or build system for that matter - and always compiles a single file with default compiler options (except for the language version). For dependencies, the code seems to be using the IDE view of the file, which should be fine if that is configured correctly.

For a more robust "Show Kotlin Bytecode" action we could probably just show the latest build output and notify the user if their build is out of date. However, I'm not sure if this should be an Android Studio issue, since the code is in the Kotlin plugin.

I suspected that might be the case. Should I file an upstream bug on the IntelliJ Kotlin plugin?
