And That, Folks, is How We Shared Code Between Android, iOS and the Backend

" summary

Kotlin Multiplatform is used to share DTOs and business logic across Android, iOS and a Ktor backend, compiled into a jar/aar for JVM and an XCFramework shipped via CocoaPods; networking uses Retrofit on JVM and a custom Alamofire serializer using kotlinx.serialization on iOS; publication is automated with Gradle tasks that push dev and release versions to separate branches; objects are frozen for native threads; this approach starts small with DTOs and works, later expanding to SQLDelight.
