❓I have problems getting resources to work in a multi-platform project. See a minimal example (generated by https://kmp.jetbrains.com/) here: https://github.com/melli79/helloMultiPlatform-240713

Problem: When you generate the project, the hellomultiplatform.composeapp.generated.resources.Res is mostly empty, i.e. it does contain 5 objects drawable, string , array, plurals, font, but they are all empty even though "composeApp/src/androidMain/res/values/strings.xml" contains a single string appName = "Hello MultiPlatform" (as XML).

I expected, the 5 Res-objects to contain some properties as is common in Android projects.

Is it possible that "org.jetbrains.compose.componentcomponent resources1.6.11" is still in alpha phase? Should I add anything to the build.gradle.kts files? Are there currently any workarounds? (I tried all the suggestions from the Gemini tutor in the Android Studio, but had no success.)

Thanks for suggestions
Melchior

Did you try adding your resources inside the composeResources folder?

I move your string.xml to the composeResources folder and it's being generated

Yess. Now it works. This was the only resource directory I had not yet tested.

Thanks you very much.
