Course content

4 sections • 18 lectures • 1h 11m total length

  • Introduction1:38

    Discover how Kotlin multiplatform enables building native Android and iOS apps with shared Kotlin logic. Learn fundamentals and see Swift and Kotlin similarities through a hands-on project.

  • Course Requirements0:57

    Meet the course prerequisites: Kotlin familiarity and basic Jetpack Compose; no Swift knowledge is required. You can develop iOS apps without a MacBook, but simulator use requires macOS and Xcode.

  • What is Kotlin Multiplatform?4:47

    Explore how Kotlin multiplatform (KMP) lets you share app logic across Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, and watchOS, writing platform-specific UI only where needed and delivering native performance.

  • Understanding the Multiplatform Project Structure4:58

    Explore the Kotlin multiplatform project structure, including Android app, iOS app, and shared module, and understand how Gradle plugins connect the Android and iOS targets.

  • Target vs Source Sets8:01

    Explore how Kotlin multiplatform uses targets and source sets to share code, including common main, platform-specific, and intermediate source sets. Understand how targets determine platforms and intermediate sources.

  • Expect/Actual Mechanism explained5:15

    Explore the expect and actual mechanism in Kotlin multiplatform, enabling shared code across JVM, Android, and iOS with platform-specific implementations and source sets.

  • Choosing an IDE2:55

    Learn how to choose the right integrated development environment for a Kotlin multiplatform project, comparing Android Studio, Xcode, and The Fleet for iOS and Android emulation.

  • Preparing the Environment2:31

    Set up the development environment for Kotlin multiplatform by verifying Java JDK 17, installing brew and doctor, and running the doctor tool to ensure all checks pass.

  • Create and Explore a KMP for Mobile Project Template10:46

    Create a Kotlin multiplatform mobile project for Android and iOS using a plugin, with a shared module, a version catalog, platform-specific logic in common main, and SwiftUI in Xcode.

  • Project Source Code0:02
