Hello Kotlin Community Members,

We recently released the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Kotlin, which allows you to build sophisticated mapping and location-based apps. This is a Kotlin-first reimagining of our successful Java-based Android SDK that we released in 2011, and lets our customers take full advantage of Kotlin’s language features including coroutines, flows, default parameters, higher-order functions and null safety.

Some of the highlights of the SDK: it works online or offline, in 2D or 3D, with sophisticated geospatial data rendering. You can build apps that include data collection, data editing, routing, navigation, geocoding, spatial analysis, and indoor and outdoor blue-dot experiences.

At Esri we build GIS, mapping, and location tools and technologies, collectively known as ArcGIS, which governments, organizations, and communities around the world use to help understand the world we live in. We built the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Kotlin so that developers can create the very best Android mapping apps for their users.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Any plans to support Kotlin multiplatform since you support multiple platforms natively?

[Rama Chintapalli]

We do not have immediate plans as we already support multiple cross-platform solutions but we have been taking active feedback from our user community on the needs. We were also waiting for Kotlin Multi-Platform stable version to see how it shapes up.

Hi, is it OSS technology? Do you have something on github to read more?

[Rama Chintapalli]

The SDK itself is not OSS. We have tutorials and also samples are available in GitHub
