For using Kotlin Native in iOS do I need to learn c++? or Just Kotlin and Swift? especially if I want to develop a cross platform libraries in Kotlin Native like KNArch.db

No need for C++, Kotlin and Swift (or just Kotlin) will suffice

I'd say not quite swift but rather iOS platform

If you’re going to try building libraries, you don’t need c++, but I highly encourage being able to at least read c++ so you can understand the kotlin native runtime

On the consuming side, I use swift mostly

I came from the Android side. Now building cross-platform. I learnt how to build an iOS app using Swift. Then, by trial and error, learnt how to translate Objective-C function calls to Kotlin for interop. Turns out Kotlin iOS coding is more similar to Objective-C, even though Kotlin language syntax is more similar to Swift.

Purely from syntax side, swift if much close to kotlin that objective-c
