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)

}

not Kotlin related but

[ephemient]

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

this is how I use them: maybe not what you are looking for😅

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)

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