Kotlin Multiplatform In Production

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Kotlin Multiplatform is running in production at several companies and Touchlab is shipping an app now; tooling used includes camp kit, SQLDelight, Koin-ish Coin, Stately, and an Xcode plug‑in for Kotlin debugging. A crash library already produces symbolicated crash reports for Crashlytics/Bugsnag. Package manager and multi‑framework integration remain messy. Measured binary impact is small for tiny libs — roughly ~150 KB download / ~500 KB on disk — but a full example kit adds about 1 MB download and 4 MB on disk. The concurrency/memory model is changing and a stable replacement is not ready yet.
