I’m trying to modularize a kmm project but I get the following error :

* Where:
Build file '…/build.gradle.kts' line: 91

* What went wrong:
Could not create an instance of type org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.KotlinAndroidTarget.
> Could not generate a decorated class for type KotlinAndroidTarget.
   > com/android/build/gradle/api/BaseVariant

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.reflect.ObjectInstantiationException: Could not create an instance of type org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.KotlinAndroidTarget.
    ...
    Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.android.build.gradle.api.BaseVariant
	at org.gradle.internal.classloader.VisitableURLClassLoader$InstrumentingVisitableURLClassLoader.findClass(VisitableURLClassLoader.java:186)
	... 217 more

I do have

id("com.android.library") version androidVersion apply false

and

resolutionStrategy {
    eachPlugin {
        if (requested.id.namespace == "com.android") {
            useModule("com.android.tools.build:gradle:$androidVersion")
        }
    }
}

in my root settings.gradle.kts and

id("com.android.library")

in build.gradle.kts of my module. The error points to line 91 which is

androidTarget {
    compilations.all {
        kotlinOptions {
            jvmTarget = "1.8"
        }
    }
}

I did not have any problem when using only one module though. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Just try with

android()

instead of

androidTarget

I tried, the error does not come from there. (

android()

is deprecated anyway)
