Hi why in *convention plugin* script we can't use version catalog ?
example : I must put
```plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform")```
}
Why we can't put that
```plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlinMultiplatform)```
}

the version catalog is belongs to the consuming project
it isn't known at the time that the plugin is being built

Workaround here: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/15383#issuecomment-779893192>

this is how I use them: maybe not what you are looking for:sweat_smile:
```dependencies {
    val bom = libs.findLibrary("androidx.compose.bom").get()
    "implementation"(platform(bom))
    //3rd party minor
    "implementation"(libs.findLibrary("airbnb.android.lottie.compose").get())```
and
```compileSdk = libs.findVersion("compileSdk").get().toString().toInt()```
and
```apply(libs.findPlugin("compose-compiler").get().get().pluginId)```


<@U058U0LJLRH> For dependencies it's ok but for plugins we can't use alias. We must make class that extends Plugin&lt;Project&gt; to use toml but with script we can't. So i made a class that extends Plugin&lt;Project&gt;
