kmm-production-sample VS MagiskOnWSA

Business logic is not only about backend. Apps usually have a lot of client-side logic that can be written once in KMM and used on both platforms. See [1] for a high level architecture diagram.

I'm an iOS dev and I've been using KMM on a couple of projects for more than a year now. It's really a powerfull technology which allows teams to move faster, but there are downsides, for example lack of native Swift interop, though there are opensource tools trying to solve this [2].

I'm an Android dev for 10+ years and I've decided to give a go with Kotlin Mobile Multiplatform to try iOS development as well. For that purpose I would need a Mac obviously, and Windows 11's flaws don't help either so I made my mind and I would like to pick a Mac as my next developer machine for the next 4-5 years.

I don't use iOS, but https://kotlinlang.org/lp/mobile/ claims that using Kotlin works on iOS too. You still will need a Mac though, but that's pretty much a given if you want to develop iOS apps.

Kotlin Multiplatform with Realm as a middle layer.

Kotlin Multiplatform. You write the UI fully native for each platform, but have all the business logic as shared code.

maybe people confused it with kotlin multiplatform mobile which indeed support ios but only the business logic. you have to write the ui in swiftui.

I think the most compeling use for Kotlin Native is mobile. I wonder if it's possible to write a Kotlin multi-platform library that can then be used from the JVM, JS, iOS and Android? What would such library look like from the other languages? This is something I am trying to find out right now, and Kotlin Multiplatform seems to be the only sane choice to do this (but I am not sure yet that it's actually good/possible right now). Any more information about this would be appreciated.

Kotlin isn't just JVM and Kotlin projects like this one for writing iOS+Android apps look quite promising: https://kotlinlang.org/lp/mobile/

I installed WSA from here (now it has been taken down) because I got Win 11 for WSA and Microsoft wasn't giving me it even half year after Win11 release so I installed it from github. Now I want to update however Idk how to do it

https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA here you go.

Yesterday I updated my existing installation to 2206.40000.15.0 by running the Install.ps1 file of the extracted LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA and it works fine here.

Until then, WSA doesn't not support GApps and Google doesn't not support WSA so LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA will do for the time being. As long as the users have choice on the matter (as in what's running on their own computers) it's fine by me.

If you're fine with sideloading the WSA app on your own then you can have GApps & remove Amazon Store from WSA (if you don't trust GitHub for some reason with your WSA system then use the script locally/run the action locally on a Linux system. Hint: r/bashonubuntuonwindows).

this has worked the best for me, scroll down and follow the video guide in the readme. https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSA

Pro Tip: Instead of the standard WSA, install this modified Magisk WSA. It's set up in 10 minutes and gives you Google Play Services :)
