is it possible to target android with a multiplatform library without dragging in a lot of build dependencies? I have most platforms supported at this point but it seems android is a bit special in that it needs a crapload of android specific configuration, sdks, plugins, and what not. IOS seems straightforward in comparison. I don't actually develop any android stuff, I just want android people to be able to use my library.

This is the build file for my project. I've commented out the android bits.

If you don’t need to access Android specific APIs, you don’t need to declare Android target - jvm will be enough

If you need an example: I have a library for Android/iOS/web but only target JVM to make it work on Android. <https://github.com/jacobras/Human-Readable/blob/main/build.gradle.kts>

right, that's helpful. None of my libraries don't use any android stuff.

the documentation is a bit sparse and hand wavy on this
