A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

maybe this was asked earlier, but what's the difference between the latest KMM release and the previous KMP releases? If one is already integrated with Kotlin Multiplatform on Android/iOS would have to migrate to the new KMM? Or is KMM mostly providing only the Android Studio plugins?

at the most technical level they are simply different plugins which are built from mostly the same source (for intellij vs. AS).

however, KMM does seem to have it's own product person within JB.

so migration isn't necessary at this point, though there are new features, mostly around iOS, in the KMM plugin

thanks, so do we expect both plugins to continue their development in parallel?

the team is still trying to nail down how people prefer to work, and what best strategy will be as a result

got it, as I am at the early stage of onboarding with KMP for a package in my team, I'm not sure which route to take :slightly_smiling_face:

if you're already using one of the 2 IDEs, I would start there

Hey, Alberto! KMP stands for <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/multiplatform.html|Kotlin Multiplatform Project>. It's a technology which allows you to write and maintain the same code for different platforms.
*KMM* stands for <https://kotlinlang.org/lp/mobile/|Kotlin Multiplaform Mobile>. It includes various tools and instruments, which are designed to provide the best DX to share code between specifically *mobile* platforms. The new Android Studio plugin is a great example of such tool. KMM is based on Kotlin Multiplatform technology and provides some more features for crossplatform mobile development. So you don't need any kind of migration!
