Summary
I am starting a new mobile project using Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and would like to integrate Agora for real-time voice/video calling. However, I noticed there is no official KMP SDK available.
I would like to know if there are any plans to support Kotlin Multiplatform in the future roadmap.
Background
I'm planning to adopt KMP for a new project to share business logic between Android and iOS. Agora is my preferred choice for real-time communication, but the lack of a KMP SDK means I would need to implement separate wrappers for each platform using the expect/actual pattern.
Why KMP Support Makes Sense Now
Kotlin Multiplatform has gained significant momentum recently:
- Google I/O 2024: Google officially announced support for KMP to share business logic across platforms
- Adoption growth: KMP usage doubled from 7% (2024) to 18% (2025) according to JetBrains Developer Ecosystem Survey
- Production use: Major companies like Google (Docs app), McDonald's, Netflix, Forbes, and Cash App are using KMP in production
- Jetpack libraries: Google is actively adding KMP support to Jetpack libraries (Room, DataStore, ViewModel, etc.)
Current Workaround
Without an official KMP SDK, developers must:
- Create
expectdeclarations incommonMain - Implement
actualclasses separately for Android (using Agora Android SDK) and iOS (using Agora iOS SDK via cinterop) - Maintain two separate implementations
This approach works but increases development and maintenance overhead.
Request
- Are there any plans to provide an official Kotlin Multiplatform SDK for Agora RTC?
- If so, is there an estimated timeline?
- If not currently planned, would the Agora team consider adding this to the roadmap?
