Overview

The baselines.io Starter Kit delivers a ready-to-use Kotlin Multiplatform workspace that saves roughly four weeks of repetitive setup work. What you get out of the box:

• 100 % Kotlin shared code module – a single commonMain powering Android and iOS.
• Simplified & unified build scripts – one Gradle version catalog and convention plugins instead of per‑module boilerplate.
• Opinionated architecture with integrated best practices – scalable layer separation, feature modules, and testability hooks.
• SQLDelight database layer – type‑safe SQL shared across platforms.
• Secure storage – encrypted preferences backed by Android Keystore / iOS CryptoKit.
• Dependency Injection via kotlin‑inject – compile‑time DI with zero reflection.
• Navigation, design system, app initializers, sample Playground screen, and more – so you can start coding features immediately.

This demo walks you through generating a fresh project, verifying the build on Android Studio & Xcode, and points out common pitfalls.

python3 path/to/baselines-kmp/create_baselines.py
# 3. Open in IDEs & Run
open -a "Android Studio" ./MyApp
open ./MyApp/app/ios/MyApp/MyApp.xcodeproj

Step‑by‑Step

1. Choose a location
