Docs say

To avoid duplicate publications of modules that can be built on several platforms (like JVM and JS), configure the publishing tasks for these modules to run conditionally.

What are the repercussions if we don't do this? i.e. running publishAllPublicationsToMavenRepository from each build on each target platform?

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Perhaps, this only applies if you publish on multiple hosts- e.g. Darwin targets on macOs, Windows targets on Windows, and the rest on Linux ? Since recently it's possible to publish everything on macOs. This is what I'm doing without problems.

Is it possible to build and publish windows targets on macOS?

[xxfast]

I saw my Task :kstore:windowsTest SKIPPED on macos 🤔
My current build set up is here

[Arkadii Ivanov]

I don't support Windows, but there are no any comments about it in the docs (like for Darwin targets) - https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-dsl-reference.html#targets

I assume it should be possible to compile and publish, but not test.

[Arkadii Ivanov]

My approach is to test on different hosts, but publish just on macOS.

[xxfast]

that is how my current setup is set up - but im not seeing the windows target coming through

[xxfast]

it might be some other issue 🤔

[Arkadii Ivanov]

I'm not sure how your jobs are set up, but you can try running publishToMavenLocal on a macOs host and see if the windows targets are published locally.

[xxfast]

wait, nvm - i can see the builds now on sonatype, it was just slow

[xxfast]

yup, you are correct - i could see them when i do maven publish local

[xxfast]

I might as well drop the windows target 😅 there's an issue on okio that makes all my tests fail.

[Arkadii Ivanov]

It may depend on the use cases of your library. None of my libs support windows and no one ever requested the support.
