Hello all 👋
I'm trying to build an Android library to embed a fatjar with shadowJar. I can make a shadowJar with Coroutines & Koin, for example. But if I try to relocate a library , it doesn"t work. Is there any limitation in relocating Kotlin libraries in jar?

shadow pretty much doesn't work with kotlin, it rewrites too many references and breaks metadata. https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/843 https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/562

In general we are using Shadow in kotlin.git itself and it is working for us. Though I don't know the details of it.

@Alexander.Likhachev maybe you could provide more info?

if you don't relocate kotlin it's probably not that bad

@tapchicoma in kotlin.git in our use case, we are relocating only a subset of symbols that are intended for internal use. shadow is indeed not capable of properly relocating stuff like extension functions and some other
