In the modern world more and more companies, even non-IT companies and especially IT companies, would like to have their own mobile application. In total there are more than 5 million applications in the AppStore and Google Play online stores, most of which whole teams of mobile developers work on. Since usually Android and iOS versions of the same application do not differ from each other in functionality, it means that developers write the same logic twice but in different programming languages. There are many frameworks for creating cross-platform applications but all of them have one significant disadvantage — they are not native. With the help of Kotlin/Native technology, writing of common logic in one programming language and compiling it for two different platforms become possible. This way such an application will be considered to be completely native. So, this study is devoted to the creation of a mobile application for Android and iOS operating systems with a common code base written in the Kotlin programming language.
