iOS Architecture with Multiplatform

on YouTube ↗52m

" summary

Argues that Kotlin Multiplatform already enables sharing real app guts — networking, storage, threading — by producing an Xcode framework consumed from Swift and an Android artifact; demos include the Droidcon and Drake apps using SQLDelight (ported “narc” DB), multi-platform-settings, Ktor for networking and generated JSON serializers. Tooling is usable but immature: IntelliJ multiplatform plugin exists, Gradle plugins are unstable, co-routines lack robust multi-threaded native support and require careful thread freezing and workers handling. Incremental adoption and native interoperability work well.
