About the Book

This book, CMP for Mobile Native Developers: A Hands-on Guide to Compose Multiplatform for Android and iOS, has a straightforward mission—to guide native developers deeply rooted in Android or iOS toward mastering Compose Multiplatform with confidence. Rather than a theoretical treatise, this practical guide draws from real-world mobile development experiences and challenges.

The chapters progress naturally from Compose Multiplatform basics to advanced topics, covering cross-screen navigation, state handling, dependency injection, UI testing, and platform-specific native component integration. Each section builds deliberately on previous knowledge, emphasizing practical, real-world applications.

Rather than replacing your native development expertise, this book aims to enhance your toolkit. Compose Multiplatform represents more than just shared code—it's an opportunity to reimagine how we create modern, maintainable interfaces in our increasingly connected mobile ecosystem.

The book explores these key topics:

• Basic UI Concepts in Compose
• State Holders into UI Layer
• Dependency Injection and Navigation
• UI Testing strategies in Compose Multiplatform projects
• UI Native Components in Compose Multiplatform.

It includes practical examples with code repositories and detailed references to official documentation. It serves as a valuable resource for both newcomers to Compose Multiplatform and developers seeking to deepen their multiplatform development expertise.

Welcome to this hands-on tour of Compose Multiplatform. Your native development experience provides the perfect foundation for advancing into cross-platform mobile development.
