What is the difference between #KMP and Compose Multiplatform? 🤔
Kotlin Multiplatform is a technology by @JetBrains that allows you to write code once and reuse it on different platforms like Android, iOS, web, desktop, and server.
Compose Multiplatform is a declarative framework for sharing UI 🎨 across platforms, based on Kotlin by JetBrains and Jetpack Compose by @Google, and enabled by Kotlin Multiplatform.

📣 #MultiplatformTip
Wondering how to make your Android code cross-platform? You’ll have to replace your JVM or Android dependencies with common Kotlin or #KMP dependencies.
For example, don’t use this:
❌ java.util.Random().nextInt()
Use this instead:
✅ kotlin.random.Random.nextInt()

📣 #MultiplatformTip
⛔ Before KMP, the “internal” keyword was used to restrict the use of code only inside their module. A module is a set of Kotlin files that are compiled together.
🚧 @HiddenFromObjC does not have this restriction, as it only excludes the code from the exported Objective-C APIs! However, it remains experimental for now.

#MultiplatformTip 📣 Your Kotlin API will be in a single Swift module, and the Kotlin/Native compiler will by default suffix classes and interfaces with the same names (but different packages) with underscores to differentiate them.
