Kotlin can be used for cross-platform and native apps, so developers don’t have to write in other languages for the mobile apps. The platform supports native and cross-platform development benefits so that developers can “share code for logic elements that often fall out of sync, while keeping the advantages of native programming, including great app performance and full access to the Android and iOS SDKs,” the company noted in its release. “What our customers really like is having that common code business logic and then doing their user interfaces natively so that it has their beautiful iOS, Android, Android, native-looking user interfaces.” “What Kotlin Multiplatform for Mobile brings to the table is that it has to do more with sharing common code between platforms, and then doing the rest natively rather than doing everything in a particular language with a particular framework, like the other multiplatform technologies do,” Hill said. Sharing business logic and using a common code for the business logic means that users can do their interfaces natively, said Pamela Hill, developer advocate for JetBrains. “Where other technologies abstract away or completely replace platform-specific app development, Kotlin Multiplatform is complementary to existing platform-specific technologies and is geared towards replacing platform-agnostic business logic.” “Kotlin Multiplatform approaches cross-platform mobile development differently from some well-known technologies in the space,” Henry and Yahya stated. Writing the business logic piece once is a key differentiator for the Kotlin Mobile Multiplatform, which offers a single codebase for the application logic, allowing developers to maintain a single codebase for networking, data storage, analytics, and the other logic of their Android and iOS apps. Now we’re taking this one step further by using Kotlin Multiplatform to write platform-agnostic business logic once in Kotlin and compiling to a Kotlin library for Android and a native Universal Framework for iOS via Kotlin/Native,” Netflix software engineers David Henry (now at Meta) and Hemel Yahya shared back in October 2020.
“The need for fast product delivery led us to experiment with a multiplatform architecture. Netflix used the tool to create Prodicle, a mobile app to use in the production of TV shows and movies. Beta means JetBrains has stabilized the features and it can be used in production, said Ekaterina Petrova, product marketing manager.Ĭompanies such as Netflix, VMware and Cash App have already tested the alpha. JetBrains released its Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile in beta Monday. A new beta mobile SDK will allow Kotlin developers to deploy mobile apps to iOS and Android with a native user interface, from a single codebase.
