Featured in Kotlin weekly and Kotlin weeekly

The KMPTemplate is designed to help developers build applications for three platforms:

• Android
• iOS
• Desktop

This is built to reduce the effort of configuring all the targets together such as Compose for Ios which currently does not have an ios target when creating a new compose multiplatform project using intellij idea.

How it works?

KMPTemplate leverages the power of Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform to create a unified codebase for all target platforms. Here's how it works for each platform:

• Android: Runs natively on Android devices.
• iOS: Utilizes UIKit under the hood for seamless integration with iOS devices.
• Desktop: Employs the Skia Library to provide native-like performance on desktop platforms.

Template Features

The KMPTemplate comes with several preconfigured features to accelerate your development process:

• Version Catalogs
• Compose Multiplatform
• Koin for dependency injection
• Ktor for networking
• Kotlin serialization
• Multiplatform image viewer

Is it production-ready?

KMPTemplate can be considered both production-ready and not production-ready, depending on your requirements. You can use the UIControllers generated by Compose alongside SwiftUI or UIKit to share the UI across platforms. For platform-specific features like camera and sensors, you can utilize SwiftUI or UIKit.

If you have any suggestions or find a bug, please add it to the issues.
