Learning about dependencies and Kotlin/Native from @tadeas.bsky.social at #dcbln25

Want to publish your Kotlin Multiplatform library to the Maven Central repository but not sure where to start? 🔎 We've created a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it! Check it out: 👉 https://kotl.in/9jwqoc

SKIE has touched so many developer's lives and made it easy for them to work with KMP. Thank you @touchlab.co, @tadeas.bsky.social , Filip and others ❤️

📢 The Kotlin 2.2.20 release is out, bringing important changes for web development! Kotlin/Wasm is now Beta, with improved exception handling in JavaScript interop, npm dependency management, built-in browser debugging support, and a new shared source set for js and wasmJs targets. 🔗 kotl.in/2.2.20

Gradle 9.1.0 has built in task dependencies report 🥳 No more `-m` trying to "guess" the dependencies, this is great! docs.gradle.org/9.1.0-rc-1/r...

Another issue, another set of uncomfortable questions. Time time, they are about the proposed Android developer verification program: commonsware.com/blog/2025/08... #AndroidDev

We're running the Kotlin Developer Survey 2025; make your voice heard! 🎤 Help us understand what's great when working with Kotlin, and what's not! You'll help make Kotlin better not just for yourself, but for everybody! Thanks in advance ❤️ surveys.jetbrains.com/s3/68aaa1b46...

Great post. Thanks @zacsweers.dev for putting the thoughts into words. A lot of it aligns with what I have been thinking lately but just couldn't formalize in writing.

I've been laid off! (Startup downsizing to a skeleton crew, sadly.) I'm looking for my next dev role. Lots of experience in Android, most recently worked on Node/TS and Python. Ideally landing at a mission-driven place (been focusing on sustainability recently, but any public benefit will do).

New Android Studio Canary just out.....still catching up with what's new but cool to see following....will make folks using KMP happy 😀 "New setting to open new projects with the Project view"

A late, but sincere thank you to the folks at @mdevcamp.bsky.social! 🙌 Our own Filip Dolnik gave a packed end-of-session talk on #KotlinMultiplatform for iOS devs. Swift vs Kotlin, IDEs, build tools, debugging, and more. #mdevcamp 🎥 : slideslive.com/39043387/kot...

Ok, I've had whiskey and my flight is delayed, so... time for some unadvised unadulterated software eng and management advice (thread)

🚀 The HTTP Client plugin is now in Android Studio! Generate and run HTTP requests directly from your code, with support for Retrofit, OkHttp and Ktor. Enjoy seamless editor integration, code completion, and more. 🔗 Read our blog for full details! blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2025/06...

As announced at @kotlinconf.com , we can now write Kotlin/Wasm based Compose for Web code in play.kotl.in/compose

🚀 Streamline your mobile app development with Fastlane in #KotlinMultiplatform projects! Gustavo's latest post shows you how to automate tasks for both Android and iOS.

Been working on a new experimental Kotlin Multiplatform Tracing library capable of emitting Perfetto compatible traces. Currently supporting Android and JVM with the goal of eventually supporting other platforms. Here is the README if you want to try it out. github.com/androidx/and...

Yes ! We recently made androidx.traceprocessor KMP available. So you should be able to emit traces and use Trace processor to assert for them. That's one of the things I want to demonstrate.

Today is my last day at Google. I joined as an intern almost 18 years ago, and it still feels like it was yesterday. I'm incredibly grateful that I got to work with so many amazing and talented folks, but I'm also excited to try something new. First step: a few months of travel and photography :)

NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover. Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment." WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.

🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨 Touchlab is looking for talented #KotlinMultiplatform Developers to join other team members in LATAM 🌎 Work remotely, shape the future of #KMP, and collaborate with the team at the forefront of mobile innovation! 👉 Apply now:

I'm currently looking for a new fit remote, Android development contract role. I have over 15 years of Android development experience, and bring lots of positive energy to the team. Although I'm based in the UK, I'm set up to work for companies based anywhere. I have immediate availability.

Big Kotlin Multiplatform update for native mobile teams! With SKIE 0.10.0, and some helpful tweaks from KMMBridge 1.2.0, you can locally browse and debug Kotlin code, in Xcode, using published Swift Package Manager dependencies! touchlab.co/spm-kotlin-d... (cc: @touchlab.co @tadeas.bsky.social )

🚀 Compose Multiplatform 1.8.0-alpha01 is here! - iOS: Accessibility updates, API refinements. - Desktop: K2 mode in IntelliJ IDEA. - Multi-platform: Variable fonts, better navigation APIs. Full details 👉 https://buff.ly/4fctmVF #compose #kmp #codeleadai

KMMBridge 1.1.0 Released! (KMMBridge publishes Kotlin Multiplatform builds through Swift Package Manager) This is a fairly significant release. @touchlab.co is refactoring KMMBridge to focus on it's core task, and to be more maintainable and extendable. touchlab.co/kmmbridge-1.1

I am looking for opportunities in Europe. If you're hiring for senior Android/KMP roles, let's get in touch. In industry for 13+ years (mostly in Android), working with KMP for ~6 years, led KMP in my current org with 200+ m users. Will need Visa and relocation support.

Do you use StateRestorationTester in your project? You might want to replace its usages with this to ensure your state restoration code is 100% correct: gist.github.com/saket/6c1cdd...

Kermit 2.0.5 is here! ✔ Updates to OSLogWriter ✔ Upgrades to Kotlin 2.0.10 ✔ New kermit-io module for writing logs to a file @kevinschildhorn.bsky.social breaks it down here: touchlab.co/kermit-205 #KotlinMultiplatform #KMP

If you think this is too harsh, my bet is you don’t know how bad it’s gotten. Check out r/overemployed to see how many SWEs are fake-working multiple jobs. There are too many SWEs cashing in $300k paychecks with barely a line of code written in months.

Pro tip for bad guys: do not, in your efforts to evade detection, give @nixonnixoff.bsky.social an extra strong motivation to hunt you down and peel the layers of your opsec back like an onion, because she will fucking do it www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...

LinkedIn these days is like "I went to buy samosa. Bhaiyya asked if those from 10 minutes before are okay or if I want them freshly fried. I was gobsmacked at the managerial dynamism & understanding of the segmentation paradigm from this humble fellow that we can all learn great lessons from!"

I love Kotlin but please don't abuse its features. I regularly see code like in the first function when you can instead write a simple if statement: it's shorter, easier to read, and doesn't allocate an object! Thankfully both functions compile to the same assembly when R8 is turned on.

I would like to share that I have released the Gradle Plugin of my svg-to-compose project! It is a #KMP project with its own parsing algorithm that parsers both SVG/XML to ImageVector (and, in the future, Canvas and VectorPainter) and it is available on Maven for usage! ⚠️ Long thread ahead.

So today in my talk in We Are Developers Live / Accessibility Day, I mentioned Android accessibility checklist I developed as part of my master's thesis, and here it is: android-a11y-checks.netlify.app #AndroidDev #AndroidAccessibility

very mystified by how many people are replying to "here is a complex topic, I want to write a clear summary explaining how to navigate it so that I can have a strong mental model" with "uh maybe use chatgpt?", like come on. anyway I wrote the guide jvns.ca/blog/2024/11...

Great talk by @swank.ca on memory management. A must immediate watch if you're writing shared Kotlin API with #KotlinMultiplatform publicobject.com/2024/09/19/g...

Impressive work by the Transit app team! I read the thread on this on the other app today morning.
