Hey, I find that when I execute tests in `commonTest`, build of Android source is performed with `compileDebugKotlinAndroid` etc. when selecting 'Android' as the execution platform. Is there a reason for this? As far as I understand, code in `commonTest` doesn't need `androidDebug` or `androidMain`. Is it possible to eliminate Android source compilation in this case?

Apparently not, because commonMain is abstract, and then running is concrete, and it needs to know on which concretion to run, jvm or native.

^^^ Alexandru's answer.
`commonMain` is not a run target. The tests there are run as part of concrete targets that can be run, such as android, ios, etc.
