Hello, my team is evaluating to use Kotlin Multiplatform for our Android and iOS apps. One concern I have is in regards the ability to link against multiple Kotlin Multiplatform libraries in the future. I saw there is a limitation on iOS specifically looks like: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/issues/2423 it appears that it may have been fixed on a more recent version of Kotlin 1.3.70, could anyone please confirm?

yep we use multiple K/N-based frameworks in the same iOS app now

[Alberto]

good to hear, so that limitation is no longer a problem on newer Kotlin versions? I wasn't too clear, but the answers on github sounded like it may still be a problem if those K/N libraries may depend on some common classes

[basher]

not an issue in K/N 1.3.72

[basher]

not sure what you mean about common classes though

[Alberto]

it's mentioned in this reply https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/issues/2423#issuecomment-466300153

[basher]

i see. worlds are still closed, but you can have multiple frameworks

[basher]

so that particular restriction is lifted

Does the final application size increase with each framework size? Meaning if you are building against 3 KMP libraries, each of which is ~2MB (that's about the minimum I found from a sample app), does the app end up being ~6MB larger? Or is there any optimization done at final link stage which I would hope?
