Kotlin Multiplatform Skill

Shared business logic and optional shared UI across Android, iOS, desktop, and web.

expect/actual Pattern

kotlin
// commonMain - expect declaration
expect class PlatformContext
expect fun getPlatformName(): String
expect fun createHttpClient(): HttpClient
// androidMain - actual implementation
actual class PlatformContext(val context: android.content.Context)
actual fun getPlatformName(): String = "Android ${Build.VERSION.SDK_INT}"
actual fun createHttpClient(): HttpClient = HttpClient(OkHttp) {
install(ContentNegotiation) { json() }
}
// iosMain - actual implementation
actual class PlatformContext
actual fun getPlatformName(): String = UIDevice.currentDevice.systemName()
actual fun createHttpClient(): HttpClient = HttpClient(Darwin) {
install(ContentNegotiation) { json() }
}

Key Libraries

LibraryPurposeMultiplatform?
KtorHTTP clientYes
kotlinx.serializationJSON parsingYes
kotlinx.coroutinesAsync/concurrencyYes
SQLDelightLocal databaseYes
KoinDependency injectionYes
Compose MultiplatformShared UIYes
kotlinx.datetimeDate/timeYes
NapierLoggingYes

Networking with Ktor

kotlin
// commonMain
class ApiClient(private val httpClient: HttpClient) {
suspend fun getUsers(): List<User> {
return httpClient.get("https://api.example.com/users").body()
}
suspend fun createUser(input: CreateUserInput): User {
return httpClient.post("https://api.example.com/users") {
contentType(ContentType.Application.Json)
setBody(input)
}.body()
}
}
@Serializable
data class User(
val id: String,
val name: String,
val email: String,
)

Local Storage with SQLDelight

sql
-- src/commonMain/sqldelight/com/example/UserQueries.sq
CREATE TABLE user (
id TEXT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
email TEXT NOT NULL,
cached_at INTEGER NOT NULL
);
selectAll:
SELECT * FROM user ORDER BY name;
insertOrReplace:
INSERT OR REPLACE INTO user (id, name, email, cached_at)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?);
deleteById:
DELETE FROM user WHERE id = ?;

Compose Multiplatform UI

kotlin
// commonMain - Shared composable
@Composable
fun UserListScreen(viewModel: UserListViewModel) {
val users by viewModel.users.collectAsState()
val isLoading by viewModel.isLoading.collectAsState()
Scaffold(
topBar = { TopAppBar(title = { Text("Users") }) }
) { padding ->
if (isLoading) {
CircularProgressIndicator(modifier = Modifier.padding(padding))
} else {
LazyColumn(modifier = Modifier.padding(padding)) {
items(users) { user ->
UserRow(user = user, onClick = { viewModel.onUserClick(user.id) })
}
}
}
}
}

iOS Integration

Swift Interop
swift
// iosApp - Using shared Kotlin code from Swift
import shared
class UserViewController: UIViewController {
private let viewModel = UserListViewModel()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
viewModel.users.collect(collector: FlowCollector { users in
// Update UI with users
})
}
}
CocoaPods or SPM Integration
kotlin
// build.gradle.kts
kotlin {
iosX64()
iosArm64()
iosSimulatorArm64()
cocoapods {
summary = "Shared module"
homepage = "https://example.com"
ios.deploymentTarget = "16.0"
framework { baseName = "shared" }
}
}

Testing

kotlin
// commonTest
class UserRepositoryTest {
private val fakeApi = FakeApiClient()
private val repository = UserRepository(fakeApi)
@Test
fun fetchUsersReturnsListFromApi() = runTest {
fakeApi.setUsers(listOf(User("1", "Alice", "alice@test.com")))
val users = repository.getUsers()
assertEquals(1, users.size)
assertEquals("Alice", users.first().name)
}
}

Best Practices

  • Share business logic (networking, storage, models) — keep platform UI native if needed
  • Use expect/actual sparingly — prefer interfaces with platform implementations via DI
  • Keep the shared module thin — avoid pulling in platform-heavy dependencies
  • Test shared code in commonTest — it runs on all targets
  • Use Compose Multiplatform for new projects where native look isn't critical

_Share logic, respect platforms. KMP gives you the best of both worlds._
