I am Planning to develop apps for Android and IOS platforms. I came across Kotlin/Native technology and found a huge potential to have shared logic via a single Kotlin/native module. But from tech docs and samples I’ve seen only pinch of an iceberg . I am wondering if it’s stable enough for production. Because still while running builds I get a message “Kotlin/native is experimental”

So do you recommend Kotlin/Native to be used for production Android/IOS apps?
React with
👍🏾 for yes
👎🏾 for not yet

I mean it’s official language of Android, how it cannot be used there?

and it was 6 months ago

if you asking abou iOS it completely different story, and #ios channel is probably a better place to ask

[Jolas]

I am asking about Kotlin/Native. It is a new technology. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/native-overview.html
I didn’t mean the usage Kotlin Language itself.

I'm going to guess he's after how well the shared codebase from using common multiplatform works

[gildor]

Kotlin Native is not used on Android anyway

[JoakimForslund]

#multiplatform is probably a better place to ask your question @Jolas

[gildor]

you still getting Kotlin JVM with Kotlin Multiplatform on Android

[gildor]

so, there is no real difference for Android MPP or not

[gildor]

but again, iOS is different storry and better to ask iOS adopters on #ios, than MPP, it’s not really a problem of MPP, it’s more about iOS support

[Jolas]

@JoakimForslund thanks. I didn’t know that there is a #multiplatform channel. Will move it there.

[gildor]

I still think it’s offtopic for multiplatform channel 🙈

[JoakimForslund]

It is not, he's probably after something different than what you interpreted it as.

[gildor]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OP is asking if Kotlin Native with KMP is production ready

[gildor]

It’s not how original question looked like, it’s edited, there is discussion in #multiplatform
