Looks great! My biggest concern and one of the reasons I'm not using Swift or C++ for a cross platform library is that most of the dependencies you (at least I need) need don't support those languages (Auth0, Firebase, Crashlytics etc...). So you end up writing more complex code to make that also work. If Kotlin native can bring those types of libraries to be supported it will be huge IMO.
- abukros 8y agoYes. That’s a problem for MP too. But maybe you can select a proper slice of the application that can work without these libs and implement that code as a shared MP lib.

The only almost decent way is https://www.elementscompiler.com/elements/default.aspx https://www.elementscompiler.com/elements/default.aspx and is not enough: https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/8zb9y1/state_of_swift_for_androidlinuxwindows_on_2018/ https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/8zb9y1/state_of_swif...
- pjmlp 8y agoIt is not only a matter of language. The developer experience with the NDK is quite bad, as if Google makes it on purpose for only the persistent developers to actually succeed at it.
