Answer from AI
Yes, development with Kotlin using a cross-platform architecture involves using Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM), which allows writing shared code for iOS and Android.
Main points:
- Common business logic and data models are written in Kotlin and compiled for both platforms.
- Platform-specific code (UI, access to platform APIs) is implemented separately.
- This reduces code duplication and speeds up development.
Example of shared code:
expect class Platform() {
val name: String
}
fun createApplicationScreenMessage(): String {
return "Hello from the platform ${Platform().name}!"
}
On iOS and Android, specific versions of the Platform class are implemented, while the rest of the code remains shared.
