Summary

The new PubNub Kotlin SDK aims to enhance the developer experience by allowing Android developers to natively integrate PubNub features into their applications using Kotlin, the preferred programming language for modern Android development. This SDK ensures that developers can implement PubNub functionalities with the conciseness, safety, and productivity benefits inherent to Kotlin, offering a more seamless and intuitive integration compared to using the Java SDK. The native Kotlin SDK is designed to align with common Kotlin practices and patterns, providing an easier onboarding process for developers and ensuring that applications adhere to Kotlin's intended design patterns. By supporting interoperability with Java, the SDK facilitates an easy transition for applications migrating from Java to Kotlin, and with official support from PubNub, developers can expect consistent and efficient support services. The SDK can be easily imported using the native klibKotlin Library Manager tool, making it accessible for developers to start building their applications quickly.
