Introduction

What are Expect and Actual Declarations?

Expect and Actual Declarations are a feature in Kotlin that allows developers to write common code that can be used across multiple platforms, while still providing platform-specific implementations when necessary. With Expect and Actual Declarations, developers can define interfaces or classes with expected behavior, and then provide actual implementations for each platform.

Redux vs Context API in React

React Context and Redux solve different parts of the state problem. Context lets a parent make a value available deep in the component tree. Redux Toolkit gives you a predictable external store with reducers, actions, middleware, selectors, DevTools integration, and a mature ecosystem.

For React Native apps, the right answer is usually a mix: local component state for local UI, Context for low-frequency app-wide values, server-state tools or backend listeners for remote data, and Redux Toolkit only when global client state is complex enough to deserve a store.
