Multiplatform party at the front, and the back
Kotlin and Compose Multiplatform open up new horizons for Android developers, allowing you to target many platforms from the same code. There are lots of examples out there of new apps built from scratch with KMP, but where do you start when you need to migrate an existing app?
In this talk we’ll cover how we migrated the Tivi app from 100% Android to Kotlin and Compose Multiplatform, publishing the app on Android, iOS, and other platforms, all from a single codebase.
We will look at both the how and what to migrate to, for all layers of the app: business logic layers such as network requests, data storage, repositories, dependency injection, and finally your UI layers: presenters, navigation, and how you can make the UI feel more ‘native’.
