Is there a way to implement expect functions in source set groups, and, if not, are there plans to allow them in the future? I was just translating some Swift code that makes heavy use of macros to check for iOS, watchOS, tvOS, etc. I assumed this was already a feature and added an expect function in my darwinMain group with actual implementations in iosMain, macosMain, etc. The IDE couldn’t find the expect declaration, so I’m assuming this is not supported at the moment . Moving my expect declaration to commonMain with no-op implementations in the other source sets was an easy fix, but it’d be a nice quality of life feature (esp. on Apple platforms where I see this a lot).

Never mind, I figured it out. I forgot to add the following to my kotlin.sourceSets block 🤦:

iosMain.dependsOn(darwinMain)
macosMain.dependsOn(darwinMain)

I’m using a custom hierarchy in my project so I can add a jvmMain that contains both androidMain and desktopMain (jvm target for Compose Multiplatform), so you have to link the sets together as part of the custom. hierarchy process. think I could have done this without a completely custom hierarchy, but honestly it works and that’s good enough for me 🤷 . I’ll explore modifying the default hierarchy the next time I have a free night.
