The main purpose of this blog is to post about the random things in Kotlin Multiplatform that I found difficult. Since Kotlin Multiplatform alongside Compose Multiplatform are actively changing there are some hiccups that appear from time to time.

Here are some thing to note:

• iOS dependencies with Cocoapods or Swift Package Manager (SPM) have been a huge headache

• Finding the right dependency injection library (So far I’ve settled on Kotlin-Inject) since Dagger isn’t KMP

• Test fixtures aren’t really a thing yet

• Gradle build times

• Gradle convention plugins

• Running automation tests on Android and iOS

As things pop up I intend to write a small post about what the problem was and what the solution is. With how difficult it was to create a Kotlin Multiplatform convention plugin, I may write about that first since that seems to be the least documented part that is almost immediately a bottleneck once you create a project with 10+ modules and need to make it easy to create a new module.
