I'm a big lover of Kotlin Multiplatform, but I think this is pretty cool anyway. I could imagine making a native Swift library shared between the platforms for memory-sensitive work. I'm not sure about using it to write an app's entire business logic, KMP is going to be more mature for a while for this.

Do you build desktop apps, too, with Kotlin Multiplatform? How mature is it overall?
I want to know this as well. My only interaction with a Kotlin Multiplatform app is Jetbrains Toolbox, and it's slow to start, has a lot of input lag and overall feels sluggish.
Jvm desktop is honestly the target with the best support. I always build on desktop during mobile dev first because I don't need to deal with connecting a phone or emulator. Second resizable windows by default is so helpful when building for many screen sizes. Also it has hot-reload now
