This will be a coding exercise using Kotlin Multi-platform mobile for building an Android and iOS app.

Hello everyone! This meetup will be presented using a Mac computer to enable to creation of cross-platform apps for Android and iOS. To get the most out of this codelab, you will need Android Studio and Xcode (MacOS only). If you don't have a Mac, that's OK, you can still do the Android part of the lab.

Important Note: If you don't already have Xcode installed in your Mac, please plan ahead because setting up all the software can take about one hour or more, depending on your internet download speed and hardware configuration.

Here is a checklist for making the most of this event:
