leakcanary VS kmm-production-sample

If your app exposes a LeakCanary Launcher activity, you will be able to quickly access it through the App Details bottom sheet.

Highly recommend you try out Leak Canary https://square.github.io/leakcanary/

First of all, grab the LeakCanary to check if you actually have a leak. Because just the memory increasing might be completely unrelated to your ViewPager.

It's strictly mContext otherwise it won't work as intended.

Knowing when root views are detached, e.g. to detect if they might be leaking (LeakCanary).

https://github.com/square/leakcanary + don't try to over optimise. In the end R8 / proguard / art runtime will do so many change between what you write and what actually is done that you may be loosing time doing something that the tools does for you.

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/
