In this video, we'll discuss the solutions to make KMP code much easier to integrate for Swift developers. After KMP came out and developers discovered some minor difficulties with certain aspects of the integration between Kotlin and Swift, a KMP consulting company called Touchlab realized that there could be a commercial opportunity in making it all easier. In fact, this is the same company that wrote much of the documentation for KMP.
