Mobile Observability Without Compromise: Announcing the Luciq KMP SDK

Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) adoption has more than doubled year-over-year, growing from 7% to 18% of the developer ecosystem. Teams are moving away from the "rebuild everything twice" mentality, and engineering leaders are choosing KMP to share core business logic while delivering the high-performance, native experience their users demand.

But for too long, choosing KMP meant compromising on mobile observability. Developers deserved the same depth of insight into their shared logic as they had in their native platform code. Today, we are proud to bridge that gap with the launch of the Luciq KMP SDK: the most complete mobile observability suite for the Kotlin Multiplatform ecosystem.

Solving the "Double-Work" Tax for KMP teams

Modern mobile teams face a frustrating choice: maintain two separate, siloed monitoring setups for iOS and Android, or skip observability for shared code entirely.

This friction has a real cost:

For the platform engineer: Duplicating setup, configuration, and testing for every release.
For the mobile developer: Deciphering generic crash signals like konan::abort() that mask the true cause of failures in shared Kotlin logic.
For the engineering manager: A 4 - 8 hour maintenance burden per release cycle just to keep the lights on.

The Luciq KMP SDK eliminates this friction entirely. By moving instrumentation into your commonMain module, we've turned hours of release-cycle maintenance into a 15-minute setup.

Complete KMP Observability: More Than Just Error Monitoring

While other tools offer partial Kotlin Multiplatform support, they typically leave out the features mobile teams rely on most. Luciq is the only platform offering a productized, all-in-one mobile observability suite for KMP:

Kotlin crash reporting: View fully symbolicated Kotlin stack traces directly in your Luciq dashboard. No more guessing where your shared logic failed on iOS.
KMP session replay: Don't just read logs, watch the tape. See exactly what the user did leading up to a failure in your shared Kotlin code, with frame-accurate visual session replay.
In-app bug reporting: Users can shake their phones to file a report with full context automatically attached, all from a single KMP SDK integration.

The Full Luciq Mobile Observability Suite

This launch brings first-class Kotlin Multiplatform support to the broader Luciq Mobile Stability & Experience pillar. KMP developers now gain access to our complete suite of mobile-first capabilities, from deep performance monitoring to our agentic AI that surfaces the root cause of issues before they impact your entire user base.

Whether you are troubleshooting network latency, optimizing UI frame rates, or monitoring shared business logic across iOS and Android, Luciq provides the observability context you need across every platform you ship.

A First-Class KMP Dashboard Experience

We didn’t just ship an SDK; we updated the entire Luciq platform. KMP is now a first-class platform type. This means you get dedicated onboarding flows, integration steps, and platform-aware filters that allow you to see both the Android and iOS instances of the same shared crash with a single toggle.

No More DIY Observability Wrappers for KMP

Before today, KMP teams often had to "roll their own" observability by building complex wrappers around native SDKs. This created a hidden tax: every time a dependency updated or a library broke, your senior devs had to stop mid-sprint to fix the plumbing.

With the Luciq KMP SDK, that maintenance burden disappears. We take over the responsibility of ensuring your telemetry remains stable across every update and environment. We stay under the hood so you can stay in the flow.

Ship Faster with Full Kotlin Multiplatform Visibility

KMP enables significant code reuse (often over 50% of the codebase) while maintaining a 98.3% user satisfaction rate with app quality. By removing the observability gap, Luciq helps your team:

Reduce maintenance overhead: Eliminate version drift between iOS and Android monitoring configurations.
Eliminate blind spots: Gain native-level observability depth with cross-platform convenience.
De-risk KMP migration: Move business logic to Kotlin Multiplatform incrementally, with full visibility at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions on Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Mobile Observability

What is Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) observability?

Kotlin Multiplatform observability refers to the ability to monitor, track, and debug shared Kotlin code that runs across both iOS and Android platforms. Unlike native-only monitoring tools, a KMP observability SDK instruments your commonMain module directly, giving you crash reports, session replays, and performance data from your shared business logic in a single integration.

Is Kotlin Multiplatform better than React Native?

Both are proven, production-ready frameworks; the right choice depends on your team's priorities. KMP excels at native performance and incremental adoption, while React Native offers a more mature ecosystem and faster prototyping. Our React Native vs Kotlin Multiplatform: The 2026 Guide covers the full comparison in detail.

‍

How does Kotlin Multiplatform compare to Flutter?

KMP and Flutter take very different approaches to cross-platform development. KMP shares business logic while keeping native UI, whereas Flutter abstracts the UI layer entirely. Check out our Kotlin vs Flutter comparison for a deep dive into how the two stack up. Check out our Kotlin vs Flutter comparison

‍

Does the Luciq KMP SDK support both iOS and Android?

Yes. The Luciq KMP SDK is designed to work across both iOS and Android from a single integration point in your commonMain module. You can view crashes, sessions, and bug reports from both platforms side-by-side in the Luciq dashboard, with platform-aware filters to toggle between them.

How is Luciq different from other KMP monitoring tools?

Most KMP-compatible tools offer partial support, typically crash reporting only. Luciq is the only platform that combines crash reporting, visual session replay, and in-app bug reporting in a single, productized KMP SDK. You also get agentic AI that proactively surfaces root causes before issues impact your full user base, with no custom wrapper code required.

‍

How long does it take to set up the Luciq KMP SDK?

Most teams complete integration in under 15 minutes. The SDK is instrumented at the commonMain level, so there is no need to configure separate setups for iOS and Android. Step-by-step instructions are available in our KMP documentation.

‍

Do I need to build custom wrappers around native SDKs?

No. The Luciq KMP SDK eliminates the need for DIY observability wrappers entirely. We handle cross-platform compatibility and SDK maintenance, so your team never has to stop mid-sprint to fix telemetry plumbing when a dependency updates.

‍

Is the KMP SDK included in my existing Luciq plan?

Yes. The Luciq KMP SDK is available to all customers as part of standard SDK access, no plan upgrade required. Simply follow the KMP documentation to add it to your project.

‍

What types of crashes can Luciq detect in shared Kotlin code?

‍Luciq captures and fully symbolicated crashes originating in your shared Kotlin logic, including those that previously surfaced as opaque signals like konan::abort() on iOS. Stack traces are resolved and displayed directly in your dashboard with full Kotlin context.

‍

Can users report bugs directly from a KMP app?

Yes. Luciq's in-app bug reporting feature is fully supported in KMP projects. Users can shake their device to trigger a report, which automatically attaches session context, logs, and device metadata, all from the single SDK integration.
