However, this transition doesn't always come for free; depending on the project, there could be different challenges. Recently, I migrated an existing Android library (RSS-Parser, a library to parse RSS feeds). In this article, I will share my experience, cover all the challenges I faced during this journey, and describe the solutions I implemented to overcome them, from preserving git history to handling platform-specific dependencies and testing across different platforms. ## Fastlane in Kotlin Multiplatform projects - Gustavo Fão Valvassori DevFeed: [Fastlane in Kotlin Multiplatform projects - Gustavo Fão Valvassori]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2025-03-11T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Touchlab | Enterprise Mobile Innovation & Development]() Topics: [Kotlin Multiplatform](), [Mobile](), [Development](), [Android](), [iOS](), [Android Library](), [cocoapods](), [Gradle](), [Ruby](), [rubygems](), [Terminal]() Tags: [android](), [android-development](), [android-library](), [cocoapods](), [community](), [fastlane](), [gradle](), [how-to](), [ios](), [kotlin](), [kotlin-multiplatform](), [mobile](), [multiplatform](), [ruby](), [rubygems](), [terminal](), [tooling]() ### AI overview A tutorial on using Fastlane to automate build, testing, and deployment tasks in Kotlin Multiplatform projects.

It recommends using a dedicated playground or development app for isolated feature development, shorter build times, UI testing, easier replacement of implementations, and better integration references. It also advises maintaining a simple, consistent, well-documented, encapsulated API with graceful error handling. ### Source excerpt In the fast-paced world of software development, creating Libraries efficiently and effectively is crucial to ensure the code reuse across apps. Here are some preferred practices to help you streamline your Library development process and guide you towards unlocking the secrets of building a top-notch Android Library. In Microsoft we do use these guidelines while developing the Libraries like File Picker, Share and Calendar libraries which helped us big time. 1. Create a Playground/Development App When developing libraries, it is advantageous to create a playground or development application that integrates with the library for faster development cycles. This approach has proven highly beneficial, as developers no longer need to build an example Teams codebase to test the libraries, significantly reducing the time required for testing. This approach offers several benefits: Isolated Testing: Developers can test and develop features in isolation, without waiting for integration into the consumer codebase. This leads to faster development cycles. Shorter Build Times: The development app targets specific features, resulting in quicker builds. Developers can launch the feature they want to test with just a click. UI Testing: Run UI tests from the playground app, allowing the consumer or library to focus on integration tests. Feature-level UI tests can be handled in isolation. Easier Replacement: Replace actual implementations with fake ones for UI tests easily. Better Integration References: Provide better integration references in developer documentation and stakeholders to play around before consuming the Library. 2. Cleaner API Surface When developing high-quality Android libraries, it's crucial to maintain a clean and intuitive API surface. A cleaner API surface ensures that your library is easy to understand and use, which can significantly enhance the developer experience. Simplicity: Keep your API simple and avoid unnecessary complexity. Provide clear, concise me ## Applying a 3rd Party Gradle Plugin as a Composite Plugin DevFeed: [Applying a 3rd Party Gradle Plugin as a Composite Plugin]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: blundell Published: 2023-01-10T10:29:19Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Blundell]() Topics: [Gradle](), [Android Studio](), [Android Library](), [Template]() Tags: [android-studio](), [androiddev](), [build](), [composite-build](), [dropbox](), [gradle](), [gradle-plugin](), [intermediate](), [intermediate-tutorial-androiddev-composite-build-gradle-plugin](), [library](), [multi-module-project](), [plugin](), [project](), [reference](), [tutorial]() ### AI overview A tutorial on wrapping a third-party Gradle plugin in a custom plugin and including it through a Gradle composite build.

It advises developers to distinguish Android APIs from JVM APIs, then outlines an official approach using the Android Gradle plugin and Kotlin's Android target, as well as a lighter but more restrictive alternative. The official approach publishes an AAR instead of a JAR and supports Android resources such as images, XML files, and JNI native libraries. ### Source excerpt https://medium.com/media/6c54678f49c79a047a73b582f72c478e/href So far, we've seen how to create a Kotlin/Multiplatform Mobile library, how to access iOS Swift APIs in it, and how to push it to Maven Central. We haven't discussed how to access Android APIs. Kotlin is the main Android programming language, so how difficult can it be ? Well, it turns out that the Android platform is not as simple as the JVM, so there are multiple strategies you can use to access Android APIs in your KMM libraries. Let's discuss them! First and foremost, you need to make sure that you actually need an Android API, and not a JVM API. You should not have your library target Android if the API you want to access is actually provided by the JVM. Most of the file access, date time, cryptography, and many more APIs are JVM APIs, and even if your library is supposed to be used especially on mobile targets, it is way simpler to target the JVM rather than adding the entire Android toolchain to your build. OK, so you're positive you need Android APIs? The way I see it, there are two ways you can add the Android APIs to the classpath of your library: There's the official way, which enables all Android capabilities to your library. There's the lighter way, a hack, really, which is more restrictive, but a lot simpler, which we'll discuss at the end of this video. The official way consists in adding the Android Gradle plugin to your build, as well as its corresponding Kotlin target & Android configuration. https://medium.com/media/b40d2cd887b34d8002fb3861463fd19b/href Adding the com.android.library plugins and defining an Android target, rather than a regular JVM target, has a notable effect: what will be published is an AAR (for Android ARchive) rather than a JAR (for Jvm ARchive). This means that the library can package Android resources, such as images, XMLs, or JNI native libraries. As you can see, most of the Android configuration is not happening in the kotlin block, but in the android block.
