ide-build.mov

Hi all, Anyone encountered this before? I'm using `kotlin-dsl` and the IDE seems to contradict itself when it (and the build) says that it cant this reference even when the source has it.
```Unresolved reference: iosSimulatorArm64```
I'm using AS Chipmunk with Kotlin 1.7.10, Gradle 7.4.2, AGP 7.2.1 on a M1 mac

`buildSrc/build.gradle.kts`
```repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  maven("<https://kotlin.bintray.com/kotlinx>")
  maven("<https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev>")
}

plugins {
  `kotlin-dsl`
}```
`build.gradle.kts`
```buildscript {
  repositories { .. }

  dependencies {
    classpath(Android.buildTools) // "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1
    ..
    classpath(Jetbrains.Kotlin.gradlePlugin) // org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.10
    ..
  }
} ```

welp, went down this rabbit hole all day today and I don't think i'm any closer to solving this issue. :disappointed:

from the looks of it, when we use `kotlin-dsl` with `buildSrc` it has a `embeddedKotlinVersion` set to 1.5.10 but cant figure out why a `./gradlew assemble` cant see `iosSimulatorArm64` even from the terminal

think im gonna walk away from this for now, this build tooling is too big of a :dragon: for me

This smells like configuration setup error, without seeing the entire project setup it is somewhat hard to help you

What version of gradle are you using? The latest should use 1.6.21 for `kotlin-dsl`

Was using Gradle 7.4.2, which had `embeddedKotlinVersion` set to 1.5.10. Then I switched to Gradle 7.5 and now i see  `embeddedKotlinVersion` set to 1.6.21, but i'm still seeing
```Unresolved reference: iosSimulatorArm64```

Looks like someone had this issue, but they resolved it by updating Kotlin - <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-49681/Unresolved-Reference-iosSimulatorArm64>

Could it be that one or more libraries/plugins I'm using not targeting that `iosSimulator64`?

I think that was a separate issue. It shouldn't cause it to not get resolved. It's more likely that the correct version of Kotlin still isn't being used

Issue resolved?
If not, ping me, we can look at this together.

not really - let me see if i can extract a minimal project that can still reproduce the issue and post it here - thanks for the help <@UF3V7CF4M>

I fixed it :raised_hands: The process of extracting a minimal project made me painstakingly extract bit by bit and made me realise the culprit was one of the gradle plugins i was using (`dev.petuska.npm.publish`) was outdated. After updating that, it finally recognised `iosSimulatorArm64`

Spent solid two days on trying to fix this build tooling, and here are some lessons learned
• Don't trust the IDE - always see if you can `./gradlew assemble` from terminal instead of syncing on AS. The IDE will eventually catch up but relying on it to tell you - what is wrong - is a loosing battle
• If you have a multi-platform-multi-module setup, first try to isolate the issue to a single module by unloading other modules. In my project, i had a `:core` module,  which is consumed by a number of `:feature` modules and an `:app` module on the very top that consumed the features. I started with diagnosing with just `:core` and worked my way back. Wasted so much time synching forever just to realise that i forgot to update a feature module 
• Always ask out for help :sweat_smile: this community has been super helpful and I would've just given up if it weren't for people volunteering to help me out. Thank you <@UF3V7CF4M> <@U3K6VQZLJ> <@U02DFLY5BFD>
