Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile: From Hello World to Production
summary
Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile compiles a shared module into iOS frameworks and Android JARs and is production-usable today in beta, but tooling has friction: Kotlin/Native compile times are long and native crashes lack readable stack traces unless you add Crashlytics/exception-kit. Recommended path: start with one function, share domain layer (business logic, tests once), use dependency injection over expect/actual, test common code on JVM when possible, and use SQLDelight, Realm, Kermit and MockKMP; TouchLab offers a Gradle-free distribution for iOS.
