Releasing Faster with Kotlin Multiplatform

Jake shares how previously the Cash App Android, iOS, and web apps were all developed natively, resulting in two-week release trains for mobile apps with 1-2 week rollout periods. By using Kotlin Multiplatform, they were able to substantially improve those deployment times to get their apps released faster.

Fantastic talk and presentation. This is how WhatsApp works as well

[@pablovaldes6022]

Is Whatsapp using KMP? Never heard of that

[@zolongOne]

​@@pablovaldes6022 I doubt it, but I think the point is that WhatsApp can change the UI without needing to update the app. I have seen this myself several times on Android

amazing 👍🏿

Can't appreciate more😊😊😊

maza aagaya bhai

[@eduardoruesta5180]

Just to undertand the first and last part of the talk! using KMM and CMM embed the JS, compile on RCI and deploy on CDN you have the possibility to update UI without release a new version of the app?

[@deepakjh632]

yess

[@abhimanyu.n14]

KMM - Yes, but it does not look like CMM. I believe Redwood is a separate library that does not directly use Compose UI.

[@khalidhamid7448]

@@abhimanyu.n14yes it only uses compose compiler ( tree data structure used to intelligently draw on canvas ) not compose UI.

[@eduardoruesta5180]

Niceee

One question, do you recommend a MacBook air m3 16Gb to develop Apps with KMP? Is it enough to use Android Studio XCode with different emulators? Or it is worth jumping to the 18Gb macbook pro m3 pro. Thank you very much for your videos.

[@xTheITx]

I've had no problems at all with my MacBook Air M2 with 16GB and 512G storage - having said that, if you can afford it I'd go with 18GB ram

[@haitrvn]

Why not compose multiplatform

[@nsshurtz]

Probably because that's still in alpha for iOS and experimental for Web.

[@the_somebody_nobody]

Experimental tech

[@pablovaldes6022]

It won't be able to update off the stores. CMP gotta still go through Apple/Google Store

[@clivejefferies]

Wondered the same

[@ravipoon09]

In here, Jake is actually talking about tackling an issue whereby we need to deploy updates to the app as fast as possible. Compose multi-platform does not tackle that problem

[@dv_bassi]

I wonder what happens when the users goes back to the previous activity/view and then clicks next... Do they see a different screen? I don't think it's a good idea to change the behavior on the fly without an app restart, or at the very least, I would be careful to not let the UX fall apart...

[@Rajmanov]

that's an interesting question, I'm wondering the same

[@NestorLedon]

This is ridiculous. Can't wait to try it out.

[@henrik908]

Is this the future of Development?

[@Rajmanov]

I was doing this on 2014, I don't belive this will a trend

[@henrik908]

@@Rajmanov do you even know who is this guy he made many popular Libraries.

[@pablovaldes6022]

After all that architecture I would argue is better to go with react-native. Joke aside, great job 👌👍

[@m1thrandir]

So basically... React Native

[@arsildo]

No… lmao

[@ravipoon09]

This is a release problem not how ui is rendered on device problem.

[@Rajmanov]

hahahahahahhahahaha OMG

[@brunojcm]

do watch this and all you can think is... React Native? really?
