Architecting a Kotlin Multiplatform App
summary
Claims that a single Kotlin codebase can share business logic while keeping native UI and platform-specific bits, and shows the actual project layout: common / android / ios modules, setup via the Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile plugin and Gradle, and use of coroutines & Ktor to make asynchronous API calls. Demonstrates a small sample app with a working subscribe button and network flow, and notes the surprising scale of platform glue — about 300+ expect declarations used to bridge platform specifics.
