In this talk we cover Jetpack Compose and Swift (UI)

We explore how even though Android and iOS started out so different, by driving to build the best mobile platform they produced surprising similarities.

1) Language:: Kotlin is Swift
The first section we see as Kotlin replaces Java and Swift replaces Objective-C both platforms gain much needed functionality. Then we explore how even though these two languages were developed in complete isolation, the fact that they draw on the same concepts produced very similar results. These are very evident when we review reactive programming using Kotlin Flow / Channels and Swift structured concurrency using the MVVM architecture.

2) Jetpack Compose is Swift (UI)
Next section we see as Compose replaces XML/Java and SwiftUI replaces Objective-C/UIKit both platforms are benefiting greatly.
We look at how both systems work with declarative syntax, modifiers, state management, navigation, animation and compare Android Studio / XCode development environments.

3) Design:: Material Design conforms to Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG)
The last section, we delve into how Material Design follows the Apple HIG.

At the end of the talk, we will show that although today we have multiple cross-platform technologies (Flutter, React Native, etc) which allow us to build both mobile platforms with one code base, in the future Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile might solve this by using Compose and SwiftUI.
