What is Kotlin Multiplatform

Kotlin Multiplatform enables the development of applications that run on multiple platforms such as Android, iOS, web and desktop with a common code base. Developers can reuse most of the code and make platform-specific adjustments to ensure consistent and efficient app development. This approach shortens the development time and increases the quality of the applications.

How Kotlin Multiplatform works

Kotlin Multiplatform works by allowing developers to write shared code for multiple platforms such as Android, iOS, web and desktop. The process is divided into the following steps:

01

Common code

The majority of the application is written in a common code base that can be reused on all platforms. This includes business logic, data models and network calls.

02

Platform-specific code

Specific code is written for platform-specific functions such as the user interface or hardware-dependent functions. Kotlin offers special mechanisms to distinguish between common and platform-specific code.

03

Libraries and frameworks

Kotlin Multiplatform supports the use of platform-specific libraries and frameworks so that the app can be optimally adapted to the respective platform.

04

Build process

The build process compiles the common code and the platform-specific code into native binaries for each target platform.

Advantages of development with Kotlin Multiplatform

Development with Kotlin Multiplatform offers numerous advantages that make your software projects more efficient and cost-effective.

Code reusability

A large part of the code can be reused for different platforms, which reduces development time and costs.

Consistency and quality

The common code base ensures consistent logic and quality across all platforms.

Efficient use of resources

Developers can focus on specific platform requirements while the shared code is used in parallel, optimizing resource usage.

Faster market introduction

Parallel development for several platforms enables products to be brought to market more quickly.

Flexibility

Kotlin Multiplatform allows you to use platform-specific libraries and frameworks to ensure the best possible user experience.

Unified developer ecosystem

Developers can use the same tools and IDEs they already know, which reduces the learning curve and increases productivity.

Community und Support

Kotlin has a strong community and extensive support from JetBrains and Google, which ensures continuous improvements and support.
