Previews don’t work in commonMain in a multi-module setup. This seems to be a known issue (1, 2), but is there a workaround for now?

I managed to make the preview work by adding Android preview tools to the Android sourceset. But it still was not stable.

For me downgrading from com.android.kotlin.multiplatform.library to com.android.library is workaround that works.

Latest canary of Android studio fixed this for me. Nevermind, just saw this post was in response to one above.

Seems like the latest canary build will indeed fix it - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/422373442#comment16

I finally managed to do it, I added a comment here about my setup and gradle file that works. The comment from @neworldlt also helped.
