Covers shared KMP module setup, Android-specific component creation with Jetpack Navigation and Composable injection using @Assisted, and iOS-specific component usage with SwiftUI and KMP-ObservableViewModel. Contrasts the approach with Koin and shows platform-specific Ktor client engine configuration for both targets. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
