It goes beyond a simple compass widget by modeling the entire user journey through a rich state machine covering permissions, location readiness, sensor calibration, tilt detection, and alignment states. The library offers two integration levels: a ready-made GeoQiblaScreen for quick adoption and a headless QiblaController exposing StateFlow for custom UIs. Customization is handled via QiblaStyle, QiblaStrings (with English and Arabic RTL support), and QiblaSlots for surgical UI replacement. Under the hood, platform-specific implementations handle Android's SensorManager/LocationManager and iOS's CLLocationManager, while shared code owns the state machine and QiblaMath calculations. The architecture is presented as a strong KMP case study demonstrating how to share user-facing interaction systems while respecting platform differences. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
