To use the app, follow these steps:

1. Create YouTube API V3 credentials:

   • Navigate to the Google Cloud Console.
   • Create a new project or select an existing one.
   • Enable the YouTube Data API v3 for your project.
   • Generate an API key for your project.

2. Add the credentials to composeApp/src/kotlin/com/company/app/utils/:

   • Open the Constant.kt file in your project.
   • Add the following line: API_KEY=Your_API_VALUE, replacing Your_API_VALUE with the API key generated in step 1.

3. Ensure API Key Security:

   • Restrict your API key to prevent unauthorized usage.
   • Configure API key restrictions based on IP addresses, referrers, or Android app signatures to enhance security.

4. Integrate API Key into the App:

   • Use the BuildConfig.API_KEY variable in your code to access the API key securely. (Removed for Now, due to some bugs)
   • Ensure that the API key is not hard-coded or exposed directly in your source code.

5. Download Videos Setup

   • Use yt-dlp to perform download operation in the applications.
   • Download the yt-dlp.exe file from the official Repository and place that into you Mac, Linux & Windows and just provide it's path in the actual class VideoDownloader in each platforms.

6. Start Using the App:

   • Build and run your app to start utilizing the YouTube Data API functionalities.
   • Implement features such as video search, playback, playlists, and more using the API key.

• check your system with KDoctor
• install JDK 17 on your machine
• add local.properties file to the project root and set a path to Android SDK there
• Make sure to Complete the Installation of Compose Multiplatform Before using this Project.
• Official Setup Guide: ![Official KMP Setup Guide]

To run the application on android device/emulator:

• open project in Android Studio and run imported android run configuration

To build the application bundle:

• run ./gradlew :composeApp:assembleDebug
• find .apk file in composeApp/build/outputs/apk/debug/composeApp-debug.apk

Run the desktop application: ./gradlew :composeApp:run

To run the application on iPhone device/simulator:

• Open iosApp/iosApp.xcproject in Xcode and run standard configuration
• Or use Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile plugin for Android Studio

Run the browser application: ./gradlew :composeApp:jsBrowserDevelopmentRun

• to create .apk file for the Andorid. We simply need to 'build > Build Bundles > Build APK'.

• to create Native Distributable for the Desktop Windows, MacOS, Linux. We need to follow the procedure.

• 'First of all following inside the 'build.gradle.kts' ' compose.desktop { application { mainClass = "MainKt"

    nativeDistributions {
        targetFormats(TargetFormat.Dmg, TargetFormat.Msi, TargetFormat.Deb)
        packageName = "org.company.app.desktopApp"
        packageVersion = "1.0.0"
        description = "YouTube Clone Using Kotlin Multiplatform"
        copyright = "© 2024 Muhammad Khubaib Imtiaz. All rights reserved."
        windows {
            iconFile.set(project.file("src/commonMain/resources/youtube_music.ico"))
        }
        macOS {
            iconFile.set(project.file("src/commonMain/resources/youtube_music.icns"))
        }
        linux {
            iconFile.set(project.file("src/commonMain/resources/youtube_music.png"))
        }
    }
  

  } } '

• Now simply run the command 'gradle createDistributable or ./gradlew createDistributable'

• for the Js Web App, we simply need to execute the 'gradle jsBrowserWebpack'
