🔷 Gradle, the Ultimate Delegator - Tom Koptel

Did you wonder about the magic that Gradle introduces and how it works? Well, you are not alone. In this talk, we will cover different topics and quirks related to using Gradle as our build tool. How do Gradle scripts get configured? How can you centralize dependencies across multi-project builds? How can you debug third party plugins (e.g. the Android Gradle Plugin)? How can you debug your own custom plugin? We'll look at all that, and a few common dos and don'ts in Gradle.

🔷 Compose Multiplatform in Practice: Integrating iOS Libraries - Attila Polacsek

Compose by itself is a complete UI framework, providing easy ways to create custom UI elements and design systems. However, sooner or later you will need to integrate UI elements that do not have Multiplatform equivalents.

In this talk, we will discuss how to do it with a simple animation library, but the same principles apply to more complex elements like camera previews or maps. We will cover everything from adding platform specific dependencies to creating the groundwork in common code to actual platform-specific implementations.
