Build Kotlin Compiler Plugins for Production Android Apps

December 2025

Kotlin compiler plugins let you extend the compiler itself: generate new code, modify existing code, automate boilerplate and enforce your own rules. They are hard to build and barely documented. This talk is the story of building one from scratch and taking it to production in a real Android app, with the challenges, practical use cases and lessons learned along the way.
