kotlin-multiplatform

Share business logic across Android and iOS by writing core Kotlin code once and targeting multiple platforms. This approach uses Kotlin Multiplatform to manage shared networking, data storage, and rules alongside platform-specific implementations.

Yes, you can build a single UI codebase for Android, desktop, and web using Compose Multiplatform. This framework allows you to develop unified user interfaces while maintaining shared business logic across all target platforms.

Kotlin Multiplatform handles platform-specific code using expect/actual declarations. This mechanism lets you define expected functions in shared code and provide actual tailored implementations for each target platform like Android or iOS.

Kotlin Multiplatform supports common libraries like Ktor for networking and SQLDelight for data storage. You can also use Coroutines to manage asynchronous programming within your shared cross-platform business logic.

Yes, Kotlin Multiplatform is suitable for targeting desktop and web alongside mobile apps. You can develop a mobile app for Android and iOS while simultaneously expanding your unified UI codebase to desktop and web platforms.

The best way to start a cross-platform Kotlin project is to set up a Kotlin Multiplatform project with shared Compose UI and Ktor networking. This establishes a unified foundation for your business logic and user interface across platforms.
