A Cheatsheet for Dual Native Development

If you want to develop in both native languages at the same time, this article includes several fundamental code examples for both Swift and Kotlin. <img alt="A screenshot of Xcode and Android Studio with both previewing a hello world app" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:630/1*DljNGTQ-LPr8AAS7bkl0kA.png" style="height:378px; width:700px" /> <h1>Basic Setup</h1> When writing code in Android Studio, there is one preference that you will want to turn on in your settings, that is Auto Import and Auto Clean Up. Unlike SwiftUI where most components are included when you “import SwiftUI” at the top of the file, Jetpack Compose is based on Kotlin/Java where you will import every component that you use. Having the Auto import settings turned on will save you a lot of time trying to figure out which version of a thing to import (I learned this the hard way). The screenshot below has the options we want to turn on highlighted. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:630/1*PIZ3kAhkOCuDrj5DnbwnMA.png" style="height:509px; width:700px" /> I intend for this to be a living document, changing and improving as my knowledge grows, so if you don’t find what you’re looking for today, feel free to save this article to your bookmarks and check back later to see if it has been added. <a href="https://medium.com/@jpmtech/a-rosetta-stone-for-dual-native-development-5e948752dc17">Click Here</a>
