If I have a common depedency, which itself brings -jvm and -android dependency, is it possible to use the -jvm dependency in androidMain by excluding the -android dependency?

[Jeff Lockhart]

If there's a specific -android platform dependency, usually that's because the -jvm dependency wouldn't be compatible on Android. What's your reason for not wanting to use the -android dependency?

[benkuly]

It's because kotlin-logging added an -android package in the new version, which uses android.util.Log, but we want to stay with Slf4J/Logback, which is still used in the -jvm package.

Does gradle not have any magic to exclude android.util.Log?

[benkuly]

And then? I still need the -jvm package within the android target? Despite that, kotlin-logging has added a fix to use slf4j within Android target.

[hallvard]

If logging is the only thing you'd like to alter, I think it would be better to exclude one logging library and explicitly include the one you want, rather than using a jvm target when an android target actually exists. But I am afk and cannot test or go into detail about anything.
