Is "Main.kt" special cased at all? I'm experiencing magic behaviour.

I have a multiplatform module (imported by desktop and android). Any functions defined in mymodule/src/commonMain/kotlin/Main.kt become an "Unresolved reference" when called from my compose desktop target, but not when called from android. This has sent me on a wild goose chase until I realised that if I name the file anything else, the functions are importable.

it is not special but if you have another file with the same name (that isn't renamed with @file:JvmName), only one will be visible on JVM (and Android)

[ephemient]

eg if you have a Main.kt in both common and desktop but not android source set then you would get those symptoms

[rob42]

I have no other main.kt files in the multiplatform module

[rob42]

But I do in the compose app module

[ephemient]

that'll do

[rob42]

Oh man, thanks for clarifying

[ephemient]

use different packages for different modules

[rob42]

ahh, make sense. thank you!
