Snappier - Biblioteca multiplataforma para a criação de aplicativos seguindo o conceito Server-Driven UI

Abstract

Delays in delivering new features and user interface updates in applications, due to long and complex development cycles, is increasingly common, especially when distributing across multiple platforms with varying policies. This challenge is intensified by the complexity of modern applications. Traditional methods typically involve significant time in coding, testing, and approval processes, which hampers the ability to respond quickly to user feedback and competitive pressures. Recognizing this, emerging technologies like Server-Driven UI and multiplatform development offer promising avenues for faster product delivery and real-time modifications by bypassing the administrative hurdles of app stores and distribution channels. This paper presents an original library designed to facilitate multiplatform application development using Server-Driven UI principles and the Kotlin Multiplatform technology. The proposed library aims to accelerate application development and distribution, enabling real-time user interface updates. In performance evaluations, addressing a common concern in multiplatform development, the library demonstrated a 26.67% improvement in average startup ti
