What’s New in Compose Multiplatform

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Live demo builds a working expense tracker with shared Compose UI and AndroidX ViewModel running on Android iOS and desktop, using Kotlin Multiplatform. Code uses multiplatform resources and localized strings, a UUID shim (soon replaced by Kotlin 2.0 beta), and a Room-based KMP database with Flow-backed DAOs that persist entries. Dependency injection uses Coin modules and view model integration, navigation uses Compose Navigation KMP, and the app runs end to end with add, list, persist and cross‑platform UI working.
