What is the use case requiring that? If you try to integrate kafka in the two different mobile platforms you will get many separate development cycles and none will work in many mobile networked environments. You can HTTP/HTTPS POST the same Avro objects (or Thrift or ProtoBuf) from each platform. You also then have 1 integration cycle then easily maintained and supported cohesively over all. The Avro/Thrift/ProtoBuf objects and a HTTP/HTTPS layer, thats it. Wrapping the producer is pretty straight forward in any language now a days I think and it depends what language and how you operate production services to pick how to write that producer. That producer and interface should change much and you have to think a little about configurations but most all of that is server side depending on the message.
