( SESSION )
The world's premier event for Android developers.
Every Android/KMP developer has experienced it.
- A bug is fixed.
- The PR is merged.
- The code is ready.
Then everyone waits for the Play Store or the Sprint!
We've accepted APK/bundle releases as the only way to deliver Android/KMP application, but what if Kotlin itself could become the deployment unit?
In this session, we'll explore an entirely different approach to Android/KMP feature delivery, one where standard Kotlin is compiled into a compact intermediate representation, securely delivered over the air, and executed inside a sandboxed runtime while still interacting with native Android APIs and rendering real Jetpack Compose UI.
Rather than focusing on a specific framework, we'll walk through the architecture behind modern Kotlin OTA systems:
- Why APKs became the deployment boundary
- Why JSON/DSL based approaches eventually hit architectural limits
- How Kotlin compiler plugins can transform source into portable bytecode
- Designing a secure on-device runtime without downloading DEX files
- Keeping downloaded code Play-compliant using capability isolation and cryptographic verification
- Making OTA execution feel indistinguishable from normal Android/KMP development
We'll also discuss the engineering challenges nobody talks about:
- Compiler version compatibility
- Runtime versioning
- Compose integration
- Performance trade-offs
- Security boundaries
- Developer experience
If you're interested in Kotlin engineering, Android/KMP internals, Kotlin, Compose, or simply curious about what the next generation of Android/KMP app delivery could look like, this session will give you an inside look at one possible future.
