Mix Compose Multiplatform with native iOS UI using Compose Swift Bridge
Compose Multiplatform has a critical unique feature. On iOS, you can mix Compose UI with native iOS UI. This is all enabled by the direct interop of Kotlin Multiplatform. That capability is amazing for mobile development. However, the actual process of wiring these two requires a fair bit of boilerplate. We've launch Compose Swift Bridge to automate that.

Livestream: Close the Swift/Kotlin Platform Gap
Calling Kotlin Multiplatform from Swift can be a painful experience. Kotlin engineers new to KMP rarely understand the issues. The "Bad Swift Simulation" helps Kotlin engineers "feel the pain" by replicating the experience directly in Kotlin. With that experience, understanding how to fix the situation, and why you need to, is much simpler.

Why Kotlin Multiplatform Teams Should Share Source, not Binaries
Virtually all native mobile teams evaluating KMP start with a library publishing model. KMP module libraries are written, versioned, and "consumed" by the apps. The classic approach is to build and publish binary dependencies. In 2024, with KMP at stable and gaining significant traction, we no longer recommend this approach. It makes an inherently imbalanced iOS developer experience worse. Share Kotlin source instead.
