Kotlin Multiplatform Development

Kotlin Multiplatform App Development for Android and iOS

Share business logic across Android and iOS with Kotlin Multiplatform — native Compose and SwiftUI interfaces on one tested core.

Kotlin Multiplatform: Shared Logic, Genuinely Native Interfaces

Kotlin Multiplatform takes a different approach to cross-platform development. Instead of sharing the user interface, it shares the parts that should never differ between platforms — business rules, networking, data models, validation, caching and offline storage — while Android keeps Jetpack Compose and iOS keeps SwiftUI.

That split suits teams who want native look, feel and performance but are tired of implementing and testing the same logic twice. Pricing rules, sync behaviour and analytics events live in one Kotlin module with one set of unit tests, so the two apps cannot drift apart.

We use Ktor for networking, SQLDelight for typed local databases, kotlinx.serialization for data and coroutines for concurrency, exposing clean interfaces to each platform. Existing native apps can adopt it gradually — one shared module at a time — with no rewrite.

What’s Included

What We Build with Kotlin Multiplatform

  • Shared Business Logic Modules

    Pricing, rules, validation, state and analytics written once in Kotlin and consumed by both apps.

  • Shared Networking & Data Layer

    Ktor API clients, serialization, caching, retry policies and error handling shared across Android and iOS.

  • Offline Storage with SQLDelight

    One typed database schema and sync strategy, compiled natively for each platform.

  • Native UI on Each Platform

    Jetpack Compose on Android and SwiftUI on iOS, so each app follows its own design language exactly.

  • Compose Multiplatform (Optional)

    Where it suits the product, sharing the interface too — including desktop targets — from the same Compose code.

  • Incremental Adoption

    Introducing a shared module into existing native apps without pausing your roadmap or rewriting screens.

Benefits

Why Kotlin Multiplatform?

  • Write and test critical logic once — the two apps stay consistent by construction.
  • Fully native interfaces, so nothing is compromised in look, feel or performance.
  • Adopt it gradually; existing Android and iOS apps do not need rewriting.
  • Kotlin developers can cover both platforms for the shared layer.
  • Shared code can extend to desktop and web targets as your product grows.

How We Work

Our Kotlin Multiplatform Development Process

  1. Discovery & Consultation

    We learn about your business, audience and goals, review any existing website and agree on clear success criteria.

  2. Strategy & Planning

    We define the sitemap, features, technology stack and timeline, so scope and budget are clear before work begins.

  3. UI/UX Design

    We design wireframes and polished, responsive layouts for your approval, focused on usability and conversions.

  4. Development

    We build with clean, standards-based code, integrate your tools and set up an easy-to-use content editor.

  5. Testing & QA

    We test functionality, speed, security, accessibility and SEO across browsers and devices before launch.

  6. Launch & Support

    We deploy, monitor and fine-tune your site, then provide ongoing maintenance and support as you grow.

FAQ

Kotlin Multiplatform Development FAQs

How is Kotlin Multiplatform different from Flutter?

Flutter shares the entire app, including the interface, and draws its own widgets. Kotlin Multiplatform shares only the logic layer while each platform keeps its native UI toolkit. KMP suits teams who want native interfaces; Flutter suits teams who want one design everywhere.

Is Kotlin Multiplatform production ready?

Yes. KMP is stable and used in production by large consumer apps. Compose Multiplatform for iOS is newer, so we advise on it per project depending on how custom the interface needs to be.

Can we add KMP to our existing apps?

Yes, and that is the usual path. We extract one area — often networking or a pricing engine — into a shared module, ship it in both apps, then expand from there.

Do iOS developers need to learn Kotlin?

Only lightly. The shared module is exposed to Swift as a normal framework, so iOS engineers call it like any other dependency. Most teams have one or two people maintain the shared layer.
