Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) & Native Mobile

Shared Kotlin Multiplatform domain logic paired with native SwiftUI (iOS) and Jetpack Compose (Android) interfaces, offline sync, and store release prep.

Who This Service Is Built For
  • Engineering teams maintaining duplicate iOS and Android business logic with drifting bug fixes
  • Field operations, logistics, and fintech products that must keep working in patchy mobile coverage
  • Founders launching a mobile product who want native iOS/Android feel without funding two full teams
Led in Dublin by Taimoor Hassan (09:00–17:00 GMT/IST (Mon–Fri)) with senior Islamabad engineers.
Problems Solved

Technical bottlenecks we resolve

Concrete operational and architectural issues we eliminate for engineering teams.

Common Bottleneck

iOS and Android teams implementing the same API, caching, and validation rules twice

Engineering Approach

Share 70–85% of non-UI domain logic in Kotlin Multiplatform while keeping native SwiftUI and Compose screens.

Common Bottleneck

App crashes or lost form data when field staff lose 4G/5G signal

Engineering Approach

Encrypted local SQLDelight storage with deterministic background sync queues when connectivity returns.

Common Bottleneck

Manual, error-prone mobile builds slowing down QA feedback

Engineering Approach

Automated Fastlane / GitHub Actions pipelines publishing signed builds to TestFlight and Google Play Internal Testing.

Reference Blueprint

Kotlin Multiplatform Shared Domain Core with Native SwiftUI & Jetpack Compose UI

01. UI Shell

Native UI Layers

Platform-native rendering, gestures, and accessibility support.

SwiftUI (iOS) / Compose (Android)
02. Domain Logic

Shared State Engine

Unidirectional state management and shared business rules.

Kotlin Multiplatform
03. Data Store

Encrypted Offline Store

Local persistence with queued background delta reconciliation.

SQLDelight / Keychain / Keystore
04. Cloud Bridge

Typed Networking

TLS networking with automated token refresh and retry backoff.

Ktor / REST / WebSockets

Native UI Responsiveness

Platform-native SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose views without WebView wrappers.

Offline-Capable Workflows

Local state persistence lets field and clinical users queue actions during spotty connectivity.

Hardware-Backed Auth

Face ID, Touch ID, and Android BiometricPrompt wired to platform-encrypted credential stores.

Store Policy Readiness

Pre-submission compliance checks against Apple HIG and Google Play privacy/permission guidelines.

2-Week Pilot Scope & Conditions

Start with one bounded workflow before any ongoing commitment

Clear deliverables, client prerequisites, exclusions, and acceptance criteria so expectations match on both sides.

Typical 10-Day Staging Deliverables
  • Clean KMP + iOS/Android repository structure in your Git account
  • Authentication plus one core end-to-end user workflow on iOS and Android
  • Local SQLDelight offline cache wired to your staging API
  • CI build pipeline publishing to TestFlight and Google Play Internal Testing
Release Environment: Apple TestFlight & Google Play Internal Testing tracks. (Production cutover follows your sign-off.)
Included Single Workflow

Shared KMP module + one end-to-end native screen flow (e.g., auth + offline-cached core workflow) on iOS & Android.

What Your Team Provides

Staging REST/GraphQL endpoints (or mock spec), brand assets, and Apple Developer / Google Play Console test access.

Dependencies & Exclusions

Apple/Google review turnaround times, hardware peripheral SDK licensing, and full multi-screen store launch.

Acceptance & IP Ownership

Signed iOS TestFlight and Android Internal Track builds passing agreed functional scenarios on physical devices. Backed by a 10-business-day defect remediation window. 100% of IP assigns upon pilot invoice settlement.

Relevant Project Evidence

Offline-Capable Micro-Lending & Field Onboarding Platform

Completed Client Engagement (Client anonymized under mutual NDA)

Agri-Fintech & Credit10 Weeks (5 Bi-Weekly Sprints)1 Solution Architect + 2 Senior Backend/Mobile Engineers

Client Problem

Field credit officers onboarding rural borrowers faced frequent 3G dropouts that wiped multi-step KYC forms, while manual back-office underwriting checks took 2–3 days per application.

What We Delivered

  • Offline-capable KMP field agent app storing encrypted KYC drafts locally until sync
  • Idempotent Spring Boot credit-scoring and disbursement orchestration APIs
  • Role-based back-office review queue with immutable PostgreSQL audit logs
  • Automated Testcontainers integration suite covering payment webhook retries

Measured Results & Basis

< 2s automated eligibility check

Measured via p95 Spring Boot API response telemetry across rule-engine and credit-bureau lookup calls.

0 duplicate payout incidents

Verified via unique idempotency-key constraints and daily ledger reconciliation audits post-launch.

Service FAQs

Common technical & commercial questions

Key implementation, security, and pilot sprint answers for your engineering team.

Why Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) instead of React Native or Flutter?↓

KMP compiles directly to native JVM bytecode on Android and native Objective-C/Swift frameworks on iOS with no bridge overhead, letting your team keep 100% native SwiftUI and Compose UI. Where a unified UI toolkit fits better, we also deliver in Flutter.

Do you guarantee App Store and Google Play approval?↓

Final store approval is always controlled by Apple and Google reviewers, so no honest agency can guarantee instant approval. We prepare releases against Apple HIG and Play Store policies and remediate any engineering-related review feedback built within agreed scope.
