I've been laid off! (Startup downsizing to a skeleton crew, sadly.)
I'm looking for my next dev role. Lots of experience in Android, most recently worked on Node/TS and Python.
Ideally landing at a mission-driven place (been focusing on sustainability recently, but any public benefit will do).

It's good to have different options for doing something and sometimes other factors at play....but....really can't see a reason why #KMP (and potentially #CMP) would not be chosen for an iOS/Android (and other platforms of course!) project today.
🔥 Nearly 1 in 5 use Kotlin Multiplatform for their cross-platform projects!

Yes ! We recently made androidx.traceprocessor KMP available. So you should be able to emit traces and use Trace processor to assert for them. That's one of the things I want to demonstrate.
