Hi, I have a library that contains just an API Contract written in plain Kotlin, but it is built by Maven. Is there a way to distribute that library in a way that could be used in the KMM project targeting on Android and iOS? Currently, implementing this library in commonMain results in not finding imports

I don't think so. You will have to release a .klib instead of a jar/aar
For that you will have to convert the Library project to Gradle and apply the Kotlin multiplatform plugin plus the regular publish plugin. You can still use a maven repo to host the .klibs files

+1 there was a nice session at KotlinConf about this and they’re working on it but it’s currently borderline impossible to produce/consume KMP artifacts with anything else than Gradle:

Like I thought, So the only solution is to move from Maven to Gradle in this library
