Kotlin End to End: From Client to Server
summary
Kotlin/Native is used to share code across Android, iOS and server by compiling to Android, iOS frameworks and native server binaries; networking uses Ktor (server and client), coroutines and serialization for platform-specific HTTP, with expect/actual bridges handling file I/O and platform differences. Build and deployment use Gradle and Google Cloud Platform, producing a Ktor backend of about 400 lines; CocoaPods publishes the iOS frameworks, and the team reports halved feature delivery time while recommending this approach mainly for small projects.
