05/30/2022, 12:55 PMThere's not a great one-to-one mapping, but it would be cool to try to make a common API that uses Compose on Android and SwiftUI on iOS. One big challenge is lack of Swift interop in K/N, but in theory, it should be doable to make a library that uses each. Your public API would likely have to be different, though, and you'd have to update often to keep up with Compose updates.

05/30/2022, 3:53 PMYes. Jetbrains often refers to the compilers as Kotlin/Native, Kotlin/JVM, Kotlin/JS, Kotlin/WASM. I’ve been using Kotlin/Native a lot, so it’s easier to shorten it to K/N
