#kotlinmultiplatform — Public Fediverse posts

Lokksmith 2.0 is out! 🎉
Thanks to our contributors, persisted state (tokens, etc.) is now encrypted at rest. Tokens have always lived in app-protected storage — this closes a small remaining gap when cloud backups are enabled or on rooted devices.

I like Metro DI a lot, it's really well designed.
But I'm not using the experimental coroutines support because I don't really like how it's currently implemented.
Singleton suspend providers use yet another "SuspendLazy" custom implementation which looks overengineered.
I prefer injecting Kotlin's Deferred<T> when I need deferred initialization.

I migrated the FOSDEM Companion Android app dependency injection from Dagger Hilt to Metro. Build times are faster as expected and the APK file is also 7KB smaller which is a nice bonus.
I was afraid I would miss Hilt-specific magical code generation features but I was able to create simple abstractions that provide a very close experience.
This experiment gave me enough material for a talk or a long blog post so expect to see more about it later.

Room 3.0 stable is now available:
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/room3#version_30_2

Unfortunately the new implementation of LiveData instances in DAOs is less efficient than in Room 2: A DB query will be performed every time the screen becomes visible again even if the database didn't change (it now behaves like the Flow implementation).
https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:room3/room3-livedata/src/main/kotlin/androidx.room3.livedata/LiveDataDaoReturnTypeConverter.kt

But because it's pluggable, it should be possible to provide a better one as well as a caching Flow implementation.

I'm happy to announce that Lokksmith, my Kotlin Multiplatform OpenID Connect client library, has been released as 1.0.0 stable today! Almost exactly one year (09.06.2025) after the first public release 😅 It has been successfully tested and matured with apps with millions of users. The latest version also adds support for desktop (JVM) with a lot of help by @jptaszyk 🎉

Also bisher fühl ich mich im #KMP #KotlinMultiplatform Universum schon deutlich wohler, als es mit #JavaScript jemals der Fall war.

So eine angenehme Sprache.

Hab von JetBrains aber auch nichts anderes erwartet.

Кэширование сетевых запросов в Ktorfit с помощью Ktor Plugins

Привет! Ktor постепенно становится полноценной альтернативой классической связке OkHttp + Retrofit. Его ключевые преимущества — кроссплатформенность, чистый Kotlin, асинхронность и корутины, а также высокая гибкость и управляемость. Кроме того, ожидается поддержка HTTP/3, чего, судя по всему, не планируется в OkHttp. Ktorfit же — это обёртка над Ktor, которая предоставляет более удобное API, практически идентичное Retrofit, что особенно удобно при миграции Retrofit —> Ktorfit. Короче, Ktorfit — это Retrofit для Kotlin Multiplatform. В этой статье я продемонстрирую алгоритм написания простого кэша запросов для Ktorfit, используя механизм Ktor Pluguns.

🤔 Should ViewModels be shared across Android and iOS?

Or should the shared layer stop at business logic?

Let’s say I got inspired by the NFC pocket monster game they had on the #CCC 🤩 by far the coolest use of NFC tech. Built in #KotlinMultiplatform and ready for Android as well. It was actually super simple. I worked with Claude Code on a comprehensive spec and in 2-3 days of work I got quite far. Gonna extend the game, not sure how yet but I want it to get it in everyone’s hands!

Does anyone have experience with Kotlin Multi Platform? I’m thinking about building some cross platform framework to use in an iOS and Android app.

Are we there yet? Is it really usable? What’s your opinion?

Is TDD practical on Android? Is Clean Architecture over-engineering? 🤔

I sat down with James Cullimore to discuss the hard truths of the ecosystem in 2025.

We cover:
🛠️ The "Security" of Freelancing vs Full-time
📱 Why he bets on KMP over Flutter
🤖 Using AI Agents like "Junior"
💉 Why he prefers Koin (or nothing!) over Hilt

#KotlinMultiplatform (KMP) is gaining traction as a #CrossPlatform alternative - enabling code sharing without losing native performance or user experience.

But what are the trade-offs?

ok so youtube knows me way too well and recommended me a talk from Chris Horner ( @chrishorner ) about replicating the #Persona5 IM UI in #kotlinmultiplatform and WELP im literally the perfect target

THEN I learned of this drawWithCache method and it sounds super cool

🚀 New in kotlinx-datetime v0.7.1!
