Hello!
Do we have any plans to resolve this? We are locked with Kotlin 2.1.10 since any higher version of the Kotlin Multiplateform plugin is not compatible with Ktor plugin anymore (because of the application plugin)
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-8464
I made a PR on Google Jib a month ago to help, but it was not reviewed yet, and I don’t know how much time it could take if we just wait for it. (I’m willing to contribute to fix it, but if someone knows someone maintaining jib that could help merge and release this would help)

Being locked with Kotlin 2.1.10 is an issue since libraries are starting to use 2.2.0 which we cannot use (“X having incompatible ABI version '2.2.0'. The library was produced by '2.2.0' compiler.”) and also issues with KSP 2 for similar compatibility issues.

Here is the related jib PR: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib/pull/4396

Considering how the configuration cache issue is doing as well, I think it's fair to start looking for an alternative to jib. I've moved on to simply copying the jar via dockerfile, although CI is annoying to set up.

Whatever the chosen way, we need to update the Ktor Gradle plugin somehow to support Multiplatform. How can you build with Ktor Native otherwise?
