" summary

A concrete recipe for building a cross-platform mobile video editor: use C++ for multimedia processing, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMM) for shared business logic, and native Swift for iOS-specific UI/layout. The talk explains how to bind C++ with KMM and iOS, manage object lifetimes across different memory systems, and design app architecture to maximize shared code while keeping only UI platform-specific; it finishes with technical challenges encountered with KMM and their solutions.
