Hi, on a KMP project I want to configure dependency and this code compile:

kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                api("group:artifact:version") {
                    because("...")
                    exclude(group = "...")
                }

When I use version catalog (ex: api(libs.libraryInCatalag) {) it's not compiling:

Line 21:                 api(libs.libraryInCatalag) {
                               ^ Type mismatch: inferred type is Provider<MinimalExternalModuleDependency!>! but String was expected

How to configure a dependency coming for a version catalog?

Better to use https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew2220.html#new-approach-for-declaring-common-dependencies

In your particular case - use api(libs.libraryInCatalog.get())

Ah, we're not yet on 2.2.20. I'll try once we update.

If I try

api(libs.libraryInCatalag.get()) {
    because("")
}

I get

Minimal dependencies are immutable.

libs.libraryInCatalag.get().toString() passes 🤔
