Kotlin for Android, iOS & the mobile web

on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

Shows a working Kotlin multiplatform app: a shared business module compiled to JVM, Kotlin/Native via LLVM for iOS, and JS for the web using the Kotlin multiplatform Gradle plugin and Gradle kts. Uses kodein-di for dependency injection, MVP for UI separation, and kotlinx.serialization to parse a JSON Pokedex. Builds an iOS framework with an Objective‑C header bridged to Swift, runs unit tests on JVM, native and Node, and notes current pain points: IDE false errors, slow native compilation, and Kotlin/Native instability despite production users.
