Kotlin Multiplatform Development

Gradle Tasks

• NEVER run build gradle task, ALWAYS use target-specific smaller gradle tasks.
• Run ./gradlew tasks to list available tasks
• For iOS, prefer a single target (e.g., iosSimulatorArm64) unless all are needed

File Naming

Use platform suffixes to distinguish files with the same name across platforms:

• FileManager.kt → common expect
• FileManager.android.kt → Android actual
• FileManager.ios.kt → iOS actual

Expect/Actual Patterns

Factory Function (for class instantiation in common code)

// Common
expect class Platform()
expect fun createPlatform(): Platform
