Access Device and OS information in a Kotlin Multiplatform mobile Project

Question

I am working on a Kotlin Multiplatform Project and I need to access following device data

• appVersion
• connection type: Wifi or cellular
• Carrier
• Os version
• Device model

How can I access following data from an iOS as well as Android device in a kotlin multiplatform project?

Can I access them in iOS main and Android main or do I need to pass some reference?

One of the Kotlin Multiplatform's core features is an ability to utilize platform-specific APIs. See an explanation and examples here . I would recommend you to go through the Web and search for a way people get this data on Android or iOS natively, and then re-implement those approaches in your project - Android main contents won't take a lot of time to be adjusted. iOS one might be a little more complicated, but all Apple's frameworks should be accessible as platform.<FrameworkName> and their usage won't be too different from Objective-C's one. For the app version, to begin with, I think those pieces of advice would be good examples: iOS & Android .
