Also added the ViewState into the diagram

Hi Daniele, we are currently working on an KMP app for iOS and Android, on the iOS side using SwiftUI, we are using StateFlow, but I haven't figured out how to use our shared Kotlin viewmodels without a middle layer (SwiftUI Viewmodel) where I translate StateFlow to SwiftUI bindings (Observable/Published) Do you have any example of how this could be done in a better way ?

Does anyone have a reference app/project that uses this suggested implementation?

[JCollardBovy]

Hi Thomas, have you figured out how to interact with flows inside Swift code? I ended up having a middle layer for transforming flow into callback (inside Kotlin code) and then another one to adapt it to SwiftUI bindings. I'd love to at least get rid of the flow-to-callback layer

Hi Jonathan, no I have a single StateFlow extension in the Kotlin part and in my SwiftUI Viewmodel i need to listen to changes in the shared Kotlin code. A simple example:

class SwiftUILoginViewModel: ObservableObject {
@Published var isLoading: Bool = false

init() {
StateFlowExtension().listen(sharedViewModel.isLoading, dispatcherService: dispatcher) { newValue in
      self.isLoading = newValue as? Bool ?? false
    }
}
}

It would be awesome if we could use swiftUI bindings with the shared Kotlin viewModel, but for now I haven't figured out how to do it other than this way.

@Thomas Skovsgaard I still haven’t deepened into the iOS side. I hope JetBrains will start giving some guidance on how to use StateFlow on iOS/SwiftUI.
