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.
