- KMP allows writing core business logic in Kotlin while keeping 100% native SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose UIs.
- Use Ktor for cross-platform network requests and SQLDelight for local database persistence.
- KMP compiles directly to Objective-C/Swift frameworks for seamless Xcode integration.
Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP): Shared Logic for Native Mobile
Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) allows mobile teams to write networking, database, and domain logic once in Kotlin while rendering fully native UIs on iOS and Android.
**TL;DR:** KMP combines the performance of native iOS/Android apps with the code reuse advantages of cross-platform frameworks.
Is KMP better than Flutter for native performance?
KMP preserves 100% native UI performance on iOS and Android because UI renders using platform-native view controls.
