Kotlin multi-platform boilerplate including mobile

There is a mobile only version in this repo

Read my blog if you want more details:

Overview

This is an example of using Kotlin native to share the code between iOS and Android. It contains the tests for all the platform code. Setup via the support from multiplatform kotlin.

This setup is aiming to solve the problem, where we want to write the platform specific code in a multiplatform manner.

Folders

android: Android project built by Android Studio
ios: iOS Project built by XCode
jvmApp: jvm app which consumes the lib
jsApp: js app on how to consume the lib
common: The shared code that is meant to be across all platforms without any change.
platforms: platform specific implementation which will be compiled with common
- ios: it will be compiled as an iOS framework
- js
- jvm: a dependency for both android app and jvmApp

Workflow:

Work on Android App: Open Android folder in Android Studio
Work on iOS App: Open iOS folder in XCode
Work on sharing code: Open the root folder in IDEA or any other IDE.

In fact, you can edit the sharing code in android studio as well, as we embed them as module, and they all use the same language.

About the example

Sample class is for code that is sharing across platforms (Which means you only use API from kotlin-stdlib-common or some other cross platform lib).
Platform class is a class which has been implemented twice for different platforms for showing the platform API case.
Open Android folder in Android Studio, run the app, it will show a string from the :shared-android
Open iOS folder in XCode, run the app, it will show a string from the :shared-ios
And the string is from both platforms are retrieved from the Sample class.
