👨💻 Senior Android Developer @ Airalo Google Developer Expert for Kotlin Marco Gomiero @marcoGomier Introducing Kotlin Multiplatform in an existing mobile app workshop edition

@marcoGomier Prerequisites • Download Android Studio and the Kotlin Multiplatform Plugin • Download Xcode • A valid GitHub account. You can check if your system is ready for Kotlin Multiplatform with kdoctor: https: // github.com/Kotlin/kdoctor

@marcoGomier Agenda • Quick intro about Kotlin Multiplatform • Start from an Android and iOS native app - that lives in separate repositories and extract the business logic from Android into a new KMP library • Deploy the library on Android • Break ☕ • Deploy the library on iOS • How to deploy in a scalable way • iOS API enhancements

@marcoGomier What is Kotlin Multiplatform?

@marcoGomier “Classic” Cross Platform Solutions • All-in approach • Everything is shared, UI included • Different platforms have different patterns

@marcoGomier Kotlin Multiplatform • Incremental approach • You choose what to share (even UI, if you want)

@marcoGomier iOS Dependency Managers • CocoaPods • Carthage • Swift Package Manager 💀 💀 ✅

@marcoGomier Swift Package Manager • Based on git • Configured with a Package.swift file • Semantic versioning (e.g. 1.2.3) with git tags • Can contain code or binaries • Can be local or remote, it’s git!

@marcoGomier Some gotchas • No namespaces • No default parameters • Enums are not Swift-friendly (no values) • Sealed classes are simple classes • Coroutines without cancellation • Flows

@marcoGomier Code Time 🧑💻

@marcoGomier Conclusions • You choose what to share (even UI, if you want) • Validate the process with “little” effort • Find the best (for you) approach/infrastructure • Then you can go bigger and share more “features”
