Hi everyone,
I have a KMM project with two modules: shared and payment.

I want to publish only the shared module as a Maven artifact and have the payments module included inside it so that when my consumer adds the shared dependency, payments is available too.
Currently, shared depends on payments via implementation(project(":shared:payments")) in commonMain. When I publish just shared and use it in my consumer app, I get errors like:

Could not find ProjectName.shared:payments:unspecified.

is there a way to package payments inside shared, so only one artifact needs to be published?

It is called shading and you can use shadow: https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow

But why do you want to shade it anyway? Maven/Gradle downloads the payment artifact automatically.

Thanks for the suggestion. The reason I’m looking to bundle payments inside shared is because payments is an internal module. I don’t want to publish it separately as a standalone artifact.
