It's such an utter shame that Microsoft got to buy out and then abandon RoboVM (presumably because they felt it a threat to their recently acquired Xamarin). The one issue the author considers the most valid, was pretty decently solved almost a year ago-- I had made a couple little games that worked incredibly well out of the box in both iOS and Android on the same Kotlin codebase, it was a pleasure.
Luckily, RoboVM was forked after a while and it is being actively maintained by MobiDevelop [1], so give it a try if you're into Kotlin, that scene deserves a lot more love.

- bitmapbrother 9y agoThis fork is based upon a very old version of RoboVM - the last that was open sourced. RoboVM/Microsoft wouldn't even release the most up to date version before shutting it down.
- sitkack 9y agoI have never used it, but the Intel Multi-OS-Engine is something like RoboVM and they updated the license from proprietary to Apache about 9 months ago. https://github.com/multi-os-engine/multi-os-engine https://github.com/multi-os-engine/multi-os-engine
