SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of writing and maintaining separate codebases for different platforms (Android, iOS, etc.) by enabling the sharing of common logic, reducing development time and ensuring consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Shared Logic: Define and implement business logic, data layers, and utilities once for use across multiple platforms.
  • Platform Integration: Seamlessly integrate shared code with platform-specific UI and APIs.
  • Use Case: Develop a mobile application where the networking, data storage, and core business rules are written in Kotlin Multiplatform, while the UI is built natively for Android (Compose) and iOS (SwiftUI).

Quick Start

Use the Kotlin Multiplatform skill to set up a shared module for your Android and iOS applications.

How do I share logic between Android and iOS using Kotlin Multiplatform?

You can share logic between Android and iOS using Kotlin Multiplatform by defining domain and data layers in a shared module, utilizing expect/actual mechanisms for platform-specific implementations to ensure consistency.

Can I use Ktor and SQLDelight in a shared KMP module?

Yes, you can use Ktor and SQLDelight in a shared KMP module to handle network requests and database management respectively, allowing seamless cross-platform data integration.

What is the best way to test shared Kotlin Multiplatform code?

The best way to test shared Kotlin Multiplatform code is to apply testing strategies specifically designed for shared modules, utilizing a validation checklist to ensure robust cross-platform functionality.

Does Kotlin Multiplatform support native UI development for Android and iOS?

Kotlin Multiplatform supports native UI development by allowing you to build UI natively with Compose for Android and SwiftUI for iOS while sharing underlying business logic and data layers.

When should I use expect and actual declarations in cross-platform Kotlin development?

You should use expect and actual declarations in cross-platform Kotlin development when you need to implement platform-specific APIs and behaviors within your shared domain and data layers.

Why use Kotlin Multiplatform instead of maintaining separate codebases for mobile apps?

Use Kotlin Multiplatform instead of maintaining separate codebases to reduce development time, ensure consistency across platforms, and share business logic seamlessly across Android and iOS.
