This document provides a high-level overview of the Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) mobile starter kit, with a focus on its architecture, modular layer design, and how the key components work together.
The goal is to help technical stakeholders — such as developers, CTOs, and engineering managers — understand how the project is structured and why it’s built this way. Whether you’re onboarding new engineers or evaluating the architecture for scale, this guide outlines the major layers, patterns, and flow of control throughout the codebase.
This starter kit is designed to accelerate development of cross-platform mobile apps for Android and iOS. It comes bundled with essential libraries, integrations, and tooling pre-configured, allowing teams to immediately begin building MVPs, prototypes, or production-ready apps without spending time on infrastructure setup.
The architecture has been proven in real-world, large-scale projects and is structured to support long-term growth, maintainability, and team collaboration across platforms.
The project uses Gradle for configuration and dependency management:
🔁 Reusable build logic is centralized under:
gradle/build-logic/convention/*
📦 Dependency versions are managed using Version Catalogs:
gradle/libs.versions.toml
This setup promotes consistency and avoids boilerplate duplication across modules.
This Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) project is inspired by clean architecture and follows a modular, layered architecture designed around separation of concerns, scalability, and cross-platform code reuse. It enables fast iteration during early MVP stages while ensuring a maintainable structure for long-term growth.
It consists of the following functional layers:
