Hey everyone, I cannot seem to get koin annotations working with expect/actual classes.

The sample app is here.

The setup is very simple:

@Single
expect class MyClass() (Common)

@Single
actual class MyClass actual constructor() (Android/ios)

I have tried multiple variations - expect actual module, try defining the dependency in the module but nothing seems to work.

What is the correct way for this? Thanks!

Why would something like this not work? 🤔

@Module
class MyModule {
    @Single
    fun provideMyClass() = MyClass()
}

//expect - common
expect class MyClass()

//actual - android/ios
actual class MyClass actual constructor()

@Ruben Quadros can you post the error log this is not much of a help right now

[Ruben Quadros]

Here you go

[ksp] --> Missing Definition for property 'myClass : io.github.rubenquadros.scratchpadkmm.MyClass_Expect' in 'io.github.rubenquadros.scratchpadkmm.MainViewModel'. Fix your configuration: add definition annotation on the class.

Hey @Pedro Alberto, did you get a chance to look at this?

[Per Jaakonantti]

Did you find a solution to this issue? (Sorry for writing in an old thread)

[Pedro Alberto]

So what I have and it's working is

@Single
expect class MyClass()

@Single
actual class MyClass actual constructor()

In my case am doing it in all places no sure is the best but it also requires the provider to use @Single

@arnaud.giuliani is this the correct way ?

[arnaud.giuliani]
