САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:
This paper explores the concept of Kotlin Multiplatform and analyzes the approach to developing multiplatform applications using this tool. The research aims to analyze the key features of Kotlin Multiplatform, including its ability to share code across different platforms such as Android, iOS, and web. Through a detailed analysis of existing literature and case studies, the paper will explore the advantages and challenges of developing multiplatform applications using Kotlin Multiplatform, as well as their impact on software engineering. Special attention will be paid to performance, scalability, and code management within Kotlin Multiplatform projects. Based on the gathered data, the paper will also explore future perspectives of multiplatform application development, including potential trends, technological advancements and other cross platform solutions.
