Hey guys i wanted to add another data module for my kmp app only for data purpose like api calls room etc. We used tro have a tab to add moldule in KMP in Android studio it was removed so i copied a module from another working proj and changed the neessecery things but i am getting an error for manifest in that module

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':data:processDebugMainManifest' (type 'ProcessApplicationManifest').
  - Type 'com.android.build.gradle.tasks.ProcessApplicationManifest' property 'mainManifest' specifies file '/Users/bharatkumar/Downloads/Phodo-Quiz-App/data/src/androidMain/AndroidManifest.xml' which doesn't exist.

The above is my gradle for Data module

The error speaks by itself, you need to specify a manifest file for the Android target. You are also applying the Android application plugin, for a library it should be the Android library plugin

[bk9735732777]

Shit i missed to see that @Pablichjenkov Thanks this was a silly mistake 😫

[bk9735732777]

I got it that it asked me for manifest but i did not get why obviously if i use application plugin it would

[Pablichjenkov]

In libraries I think is optional(only if you need it) now

[bk9735732777]

Okk let me check that too

Hello @bk9735732777 - have you solved this? You can get the KMP Shared Module by installing Android Studio preview.

Is your goal to add 2 KMP modules to a single project? Thanks.

@Matt Dyor yes it is solved it was a silly mistake but which AS version has it cos my version does not. I am using ladybug
