Diving into Kotlin Multiplatform: A Developer's First Look

  Hey fellow coders! Let's talk about a problem we've all faced. You're building an app for both Android and iOS . You write your networking layer, your data models, and all your business logic in Kotlin for Android. Then, you switch over to Xcode and... write the exact same networking layer, the exact same data models, and the exact same business logic in Swift . It's tedious. It's a maintenance nightmare. And it feels... wrong. What if you could write all that core logic just once ? Enter Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) . So, what exactly IS KMP? In the simplest terms, KMP is a technology from JetBrains that lets you share code between different platforms—like Android, iOS, Web , and Desktop . But here's the most important part to understand right away: KMP is for sharing logic, not the UI . Think of it like this: your app has a "brain" (the business logic, data handling, and network calls) and a "face" (the user interface). KMP lets you bui...
