Simplifying Application Development with Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile: Write robust native applications for iOS and Android efficiently

Book Description

Explore the new Kotlin Multiplatform to build native apps for Android and iOS while sharing business logic between apps

Key Features

• Improve app development speed dramatically by writing the business logic in Kotlin
• Implement a native user interface and work with platform-specific APIs
• Leverage Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile’s code-sharing capabilities for your projects

Book Description

Sharing code between platforms can help developers gain a competitive edge, and Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) offers a sensible way to do it. KMM helps mobile teams share code between Android and iOS in a flexible way, leaving room for native development.

The book begins by helping you to gain a clear understanding of the Kotlin Multiplatform approach, how it works, and how it is different from cross-platform technologies, such as React Native and Flutter, and code sharing options, such as C++. You’ll then see how your team can use this software development kit (SDK) to build native applications more effectively by learning timeless concepts and working through practical examples. As you advance, you’ll get to grips with the core concepts, understand why UI sharing fails, and get hands-on with developing a small KMM application. Finally, you’ll discover expert tips and best practices, along with production- and adoption-related questions, that will help you take the next step in your project and career.

By the end of this Kotlin book, you’ll have gained a solid understanding of the capabilities of KMM and be able to share code between Android and iOS flexibly.

What you will learn

• Get acquainted with the multiplatform approach and KMM’s competitive edge
• Understand how Kotlin Multiplatform works under the hood
• Get up and running with the Kotlin language quickly in the context of Swift
• Find out how to share code between Android and iOS
• Explore tips and best practices in KMM to increase app development efficiency
• Discover adoption tips to integrate KMM into existing or new production apps

Who this book is for

This book is for native Android and iOS developers who want to build high-quality apps using an efficient development process. Knowledge of the framework and the languages used is necessary, that is, Android with Java or Kotlin and iOS with Objective-C or Swift. For Swift developers, the book assumes no knowledge of Kotlin as this will be covered in the context of Swift.

书名：使用Kotlin多平台移动简化应用程序开发：高效地为iOS和Android编写强大的本机应用程序

探索新的Kotlin多平台，为Android和iOS构建原生应用程序，同时在应用程序之间共享业务逻辑

主要特点

• 通过用柯特林语编写业务逻辑，显著提高应用程序开发速度
• 实现本机用户界面并使用特定于平台的API
• 在您的项目中利用Kotlin多平台移动平台的代码共享功能

图书描述

在平台之间共享代码可以帮助开发人员获得竞争优势，而Kotlin多平台移动(KMM)提供了一种明智的方式来做到这一点。KMM帮助移动团队灵活地在Android和iOS之间共享代码，为本地开发留出了空间。

这本书首先帮助您清楚地了解Kotlin多平台方法，它如何工作，以及它与跨平台技术(如Reaction Native和Ffltter)和代码共享选项(如C++)的不同之处。然后，您将看到您的团队如何通过学习永恒的概念和实践示例，使用此软件开发工具包(SDK)更有效地构建本机应用程序。随着学习的深入，您将掌握核心概念，了解UI共享失败的原因，并亲手开发一个小型KMM应用程序。最后，您将发现专家提示和最佳实践，以及与生产和采用相关的问题，这些将帮助您在项目和职业生涯中迈出下一步。

到这本Kotlin书的最后，你将对KMM的功能有一个扎实的了解，并能够在Android和iOS之间灵活地共享代码。

你将学到什么

• 熟悉多平台方法和KMM的竞争优势
• 了解Kotlin多平台如何在幕后工作
• 在SWIFT的环境中快速掌握柯特林语言
• 了解如何在Android和iOS之间共享代码
• 探索KMM中的提示和最佳实践，以提高应用程序开发效率
• Discover adoption tips to integrate KMM into existing or new production apps

这本书是为谁而写的

本书面向希望使用高效开发流程构建高质量应用程序的Android和iOS原生开发人员。了解框架和使用的语言是必要的，也就是说，使用Java或Kotlin的Android和使用Objective-C或Swift的iOS。对于SWIFT开发人员，本书假定不了解Kotlin，因为这将在SWIFT的上下文中介绍。
