An Android Dev start to Kotlin Multiplatform
summary
Claim: Kotlin Multiplatform is practical for sharing small logic. The demo converts an existing module into a shared module with suspending repository using Ktor + kotlinx.serialization, KMM plugin, coroutines and Android Studio canary, then wires that shared code into an Android ViewModel and an iOS callback wrapper. The built app fetches Empire State Building light colors from a tiny scraper service and displays images; setup hits Gradle/IDE glitches but the network flow, serialization and cross-platform call path work end to end.
