Kotlin Multiplatform in Practice

Do you want to write code once and run it on Android and iOS, preserving native quality and performance? In this book, you will master all the steps of developing fully functional cross-platform applications using Kotlin Multiplatform SDK – from... creating a project from scratch to migrating existing native solutions. Detailed instructions, architectural approaches, and real examples will help you confidently work with shared modules, multithreading, networking, data storage, and Compose Multiplatform for iOS.
Special attention is paid to the use of native and shared code in a cross-platform application, application of expect/actual, testing with Kotest, optimizing development using KSP, compiler plugins, and AI assistants. You will learn how to create and publish your own KMP libraries, as well as get a brief guide to Kotlin and Swift to confidently navigate both ecosystems.
