Separate and risky Engineering leaders have a choice to make: Continue building in siloes with separate platform teams (Android and iOS) OR Evolve from a 100% siloed native code → x% shared native code between Android and iOS Here are the five areas of risk that come...
TL;DR Let’s be real, 100% work from home in the middle of a pandemic is indeed a unique challenge for mobile engineering leaders and builders, but you are up to that challenge. Beginning today and in the weeks to come we’ll be sharing tips and resources for managing...
Kotlin 1.3.70 is here! As the release blog post says, there’s not much in the way of major landmark new features, but lots of incremental improvements and some interesting little quality-of-life stuff which I’m excited about. It's the first new language version since...
KMP = Efficiency Innovative engineering orgs are always looking for ways to be more efficient. GoPro is no different. Key engineers on the mobile team were interested in Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) for code sharing and migrating legacy C++ code to Kotlin. Music...

I saw Hadi's tweet and I couldn't agree more. There are more and more (respected and influential) companies experimenting with and talking about Kotlin Multiplatform. Some have put it into production already. Personal Thoughts Here are a few quotes from VMWare's post...
The following blog post is an overview on Kotlin Multiplatform libraries by the KMP experts, Touchlab. You'll find a. list of recommended libraries we use today for Kotlin Multiplatform development (including some of our own) b. video recording of Kevin presenting at...
Can I use Kotlin Multiplatform for an existing app? Sam: Yes, being able to optionally share even small parts of your application lets you plug KMP in where it makes the most sense for you. What Kotlin Multiplatform libraries is Touchlab using today? Touchlab’s...
Native mobile development for iOS and Android generally involves writing two (2) separate code bases, picking an “all in” cross platform tool, or using some form of code sharing to bridge the gap. For long-term mobile developers, there is a sense of dread around any...
