Hello guys,

I noticed a bug with Android Studio when working with a KMP library and using Gradle's dependency substitution.
Let's assume I have the following project structure.

lib
app

Both are Gradle projects. lib is a KMP library with a Gradle module named library and app is a regular Android app. In settings.gradle.kts of app I include lib and make use of dependency substitution.

includeBuild("../lib") {
    dependencySubstitution {
        substitute(module("my.example.library:library")).using(project(":library"))
    }
}

This works from the terminal but unfortunately when opening app in Android Studio I get the following error in the Sync window and the project cannot be loaded/synced

Expected android module not found! /Users/sven/Developer/Workspace/kmp-substitution/app::library

I can reproduce it with Android Studio Meerkat Feature Drop | 2024.3.2 (AGP 8.10.0) as well as Android Studio Narwhal Feature Drop | 2025.1.2 Canary 2 (AGP 8.12.0-alpha02). Gradle version is 8.14.1. Kotlin 2.1.21. An example project that reproduces this can be found here.

Has anyone seen this error before and found a solution? If not, where would I best report this bug? I'm not sure if this bug is related to Android Studio, Gradle or maybe KMP?
