They adopted Kotlin Multiplatform to share three APIs (Dec 2024 → Mar 2025), used Firebase Remote Config to run quick experiments, and shipped two Remote Config pilots that added roughly ¥360M and ¥210M annually while KMP enabled Android engineers to contribute to iOS and improved iOS productivity by about 5–10%.
