Unlike Flutter, React Native, or Xamarin, KMP focuses on sharing non-UI logic rather than UI, integrates natively with both Android and iOS without bridging layers, and is built on Kotlin — the preferred language for Android. Key advantages include incremental adoption, native compilation via LLVM for iOS (outputting an Xcode Framework), open source development backed by JetBrains and the Kotlin Foundation, and no dependency on venture-backed funding. The post argues that shared logic has a proven history of success while shared UI does not, making KMP a strategically sound choice for teams wanting to reduce duplication without committing to a heavy third-party platform. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
