Though Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile helps developers share common parts of the code, they are allowed to build UI code separately to make apps native regarding its platform.
For instance, an iOS developer makes a visual part according to the iPhone app's appearance.
At the same time, an Android developer creates different visual parts for an Android app. So, unlike regular cross-platform methods, Kotlin multiplatform won't let you sacrifice a good UI.
Support & Community
Big companies like Netflix, Autodesk, Vmware, Trello, Philips, and Ice Rock are opting for KMM as its easily accessible & adaptable. So, Kotlin is already world-famous & contributors are putting efforts into making it a next-gen programming language.
Also, developers are allowed to write Kotlin code in IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, or Xcode.
Additionally, IntelliJ studio is also a JetBrains product. On top of that, the Android Studio is also built on JetBrains’ IntelliJ IDEA software.
This is one of the biggest reasons behind great IDE support and tooling for Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile.
Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile can be an ideal software development kit and solve many common problems in the mobile development ecosystem.
Having the same codebase between platforms becomes more efficient for the developers while giving you more control of the platform-specific technologies available in Android and iOS without being trapped in a cross-platform or hybrid framework.
Though KMM is still in beta, it will surely rule the mobile app development industry. In this growing development secretary, the one universal goal is to produce more products in less time with proper maintenance & testing & Kotlin multiplatform provides these advantages effortlessly.

WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER A LITE VERSION FOR YOUR
MOBILE APP?
Mobile Apps are now essential to every business as they uncover many potential business opportunities.
We all are aware of the applications like Facebook and Instagram; we use these applications daily, but just imagine their existence without mobile applications.
Today, both of them have a huge market, but without the application, surely they would not be able to enter such a huge market.
Multiple brands are ruling in developed countries by covering a good part of the overall consumption.

So, that is when we need the lite version of mobile applications.
Now, let's understand what Lite Version is and why we should consider it
Lite Apps are basically designed for low-end devices with an app size of 1 to 4 MB. We enjoy the fast network, but several countries are still using 2G networks, so these lite version apps work great with such slow internet connections.
The Lite version application of Facebook is very popular amongst billions of users. It works with less than 1 MB installation space and consumes limited internet data and battery in slow networks like 2G.
The only challenge that users had to face is that some features consuming a large amount of data and storage are trimmed.
Now let's talk about the reason to consider the lite version of the app Battery Consumption
Everyone has their preferences when it comes to using mobile applications, but there is no doubt that people hate when their battery gets drained faster.
Battery life is one of the most crucial features of the smartphone. We all like applications that are easily accessible with good usability and which do not deplete our battery.
Generally, all the standard applications consume a lot of battery, that is because of the front-end utilities that are given to the users for which the back-end functionalities have to stay active.
Due to this reason, some users delete these applications. Lite apps are specially designed with such features that do not consume much battery, and because of this feature, users enjoy using the lite apps more than the standard applications.
