Does anyone have recommendations for sharing view model state through KMP? Also, how to handle app navigation? I see the Decompose and MVI-Kotlin libraries are quite mature, but they also seem pretty heavy / opinionated. Do you have to use them together, or can you mix and match? Are libraries even necessary?

Do you have to use them together, or can you mix and match?

Not necessarily. Every library covers different topic.

What are the differences between a Decompose Component and a MVI-Kotlin ViewModel?

[Arkadii Ivanov]

There is no such thing as MVIKotlin ViewModel. The library provides a single source of truth (Store) for an app/screen/sub-screen/whatever. With some cool debugging tools like logging or time traveling.

Decompose is for navigation and code decomposition.

[Jacob Rhoda]

Sorry, that is what I meant.

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Ah yes, Decompose also provides ViewModel-like behaviour (retained instances).
