KMP requires an umbrella module for native iOS integration, but what if you want to version/update multiple features independently? 💡 You can publish klibs of your KMP features (no binaries), and then build a final umbrella framework in the iOS project:

Kotlin 2.4.0 ships with a HUGE power-assert update I've been slowly working on for *years*. It's the culmination of efforts I started before joining JetBrains. It's subtle from the user's perspective, but it helped fixed a bunch of problems and unblocks tons of future improvements! 🚀
