Using Kotlin multi-platform for Android and iOS with firebase

Fri, 08 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

So I just started a new app that is being built for Android and iOS. I’m building it using kotlin multi-platform (KMP). I started it by following a guide on jetbrains’ website. I started it by following this guide. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/multiplatform-getting-started.html#next-step after kdoctor said that my machine was ready for cross platform compilation I moved on to cloning this repo. https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-ios-android-template This app is using firebase so I had to integrate it into the app. I found this library which is a cross platform firebase library. https://github.com/GitLiveApp/firebase-kotlin-sdk Getting it set up was a bit difficult as the app kept crashing everytime I tried to use firebase for anything. I later found this guide but as it is the only one online, and seems to miss a few pain points that I found. https://medium.com/@carlosgub/how-to-implement-firebase-firestore-in-kotlin-multiplatform-mobile-with-compose-multiplatform-32b66cdba9f7 So I’m writing this to document my process and and pain points so that if anyone else wants to do this they can. Also, it should be noted that I started with the Authentication library.
