06/18/2021, 1:40 PMHey everyone! This is my first time using Slack and I am also a beginner with Kotlin, so let me know if this question should go somewhere else. My question is: is Kotlin/Native for iOS “safe” to get started with given the memory management redesign? I am confused about whether or not code will have to be rewritten for Kotlin Multiplatform Libraries/modules once the iOS memory management redesign is released. Thanks!

06/18/2021, 5:20 PMThanks! @kpgalligan that is exactly what I was looking for and hoping to hear. Just to clarify, would I write cross platform code (iOS, Windows, Android) with the current “frozen” system or just the iOS code? I am thinking about trying to use the D-KMP architecture using SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose if that helps for context
