Using platform-specific code in Kotlin Multiplatform
summary
Kotlin Multiplatform projects use native APIs under the hood and often combine shared Kotlin with platform scaffolding: a published multiplatform settings library wraps Android SharedPreferences and Apple UserDefaults; expect/actual factories pick default implementations; 32‑ vs 64‑bit Apple integer differences require platform conversions; analytics uses an injected platform writer for vendor SDKs; a socket factory exposes Java sockets to common sync logic; local reminders flow through a shared repository while Android uses WorkManager and iOS uses BGTask APIs. iOS work requires iOS developers.
