Good morning Berlin! Hope to meet lots and lots of people at next app dev con today 👋 You'll find me at my talk at noon, at a roundtable in the afternoon, and generally at the JetBrains booth!

Shout-out to whoever put this on the reddit website. It's great at making me get off of reddit when I accidentally go there. That's not even a joke, I genuinely appreciate this being built in.

#10: klibs.io now has 3600+ KMP libraries listed, and we couldn't be more grateful to all the contributors who work on these libraries. Thank you all for creating such an amazing ecosystem! 💜

#9: Kotlin/JS shipped tons of new interop and quality-of-life improvements recently (once again, including support for suspend funs). Using Kotlin from TypeScript is an especially great experience, with full compile-time safety. kotlinlang.org/docs/... kotlinlang.org/docs/...

#8: Compose Multiplatform for Web is now in Beta, with support for accessibility and HTML interop. So you can add existing components from the web - like maps, videos, charts, and more - to your Compose apps. lp.jetbrains.com/cmp...

Márton Braun @zsmb.co · 26/05/2026

#7: For desktop, Compose Hot Reload is now stable and bundled with CMP, with no extra setup. It's now the default option for running a desktop app from the IDE, so you can see your code changes reflected in a running app in no time. kotlinlang.org/docs/...

Márton Braun @zsmb.co · 26/05/2026

#6: You can easily combine real, native Liquid Glass components with Compose UI. You can do this either on the SwiftUI side, or with the new interop APIs that let you overlay native views on top of Compose. kotlinlang.org/docs/... kotlinlang.org/docs/...

Márton Braun @zsmb.co · 26/05/2026

#5: Compose Multiplatform continues to track changes from Jetpack Compose, with new APIs and improvements arriving faster than ever before. kotlinlang.org/docs/... Among many other improvements in the last year, the Navigation 3 library is now stable 🎉 kotlinlang.org/docs/...

Márton Braun @zsmb.co · 26/05/2026

#4: As of Kotlin 2.4, Swift Export is now in alpha! 🎉 It now covers a huge amount of features to make Swift/Kotlin interop pleasant. The latest releases support working with suspend functions and Flows, with proper cancellation and generics. kotlinlang.org/docs/...

#3: We recently shipped our new default structure for KMP, now used by the wizard in the IDE and on the web (kmp.new), and also present in our docs and samples. Clearer responsibilities, easier modularization, more consistency. blog.jetbrains.com/k...

Well, that's all folks! It's been a blast seeing so many of you at KotlinConf again this year, and I hope y'all enjoyed the show. We'll be seeing you again next year, wherever Kodee takes us!

So I've slightly messed up a migration code path in the KotlinConf app 😅 If an orange "Testing" message is bothering you at the top of the screen, please tap it (goes to About App) then scroll down and tap Reset Flags, and finally restart the app. Sorry about that!

Márton Braun @zsmb.co · 18/05/2026

The new structure uses AGP 9 with all its latest requirements. To support this, we also shipped IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1.2, which includes support for AGP 9.0.1. As always, the easiest way to grab the update is from JetBrains Toolbox.

If you add a server module to the project, all the apps get nested under an app folder, and a core module lets you share code between the server and clients. A good place for shared model classes, validation logic, and similar code.

100

Márton Braun @zsmb.co · 18/05/2026

The shared module splits into sharedLogic and sharedUI if you use native UI for any platforms. Platforms with native UI only depend on sharedLogic, while the ones using Compose Multiplatform depend on sharedUI.

Márton Braun @zsmb.co · 18/05/2026

Instead of the composeApp module, we’ll now have a shared module, with separate app modules (androidApp, iosApp, desktopApp, webApp) for each platform, which all depend on that shared module.

KMP isn't limited to sharing business logic - you can also build apps with fully shared UI with Compose Multiplatform! If you've been waiting to learn how, check out our full-day KotlinConf workshop: kotlinconf.com/workshops/#:...

Márton Braun @zsmb.co · 17/03/2026

We still hear from a lot of people who assume KMP is only for sharing logic. With Compose Multiplatform though, you can also have shared cross-platform UI, with 100% of your code in Kotlin! If you're looking to pick up CMP, join our KotlinConf workshop: kotlinconf.com/works...

After almost a decade in the community, contributing as a GDE for years and even being a Googler (and an I/O speaker!) at some point, this is the first time I got this invitation. While it's nice to get it, you'll find me in Munich instead 😉 kotlinconf.com

They've put Room on the web with its KMP-packed 3.0 release! Check out the sample here: github.com/danysantiago... To persist across page reloads, swap from the `inMemoryDatabaseBuilder` to a regular `databaseBuilder` and specify a file name.
