I got a KMP hierarchy like this, and I am interested in sharing some code inside jvmAndAndroid which calls functions from kotlinx.datetime which lives inside the jvm target of that library. Particularly I am trying to use import kotlinx.datetime.toJavaLocalDate.
When I copy-paste the exact same code inside androidMain and jvmMain I can call toJavaLocalDate without issues.
If I try to call toJavaLocalDate inside jvmAndAndroid it is unable to resolve it at all.

Is there a way for me to make this work, or is this a limitation due to the android and the jvm targets kinda being both jvm but not exactly?

How do you setup your dependencies?

[Stylianos Gakis]

In this case I was bringing in kotlinx.datetime in commonMain. I could try explicitly also doing implementation(...kotlinx.datetime) in the jvmAndAndroid source set too if that would work

The latter should not be necessary,

Kotlin doesn't currently support sharing a source set for these combinations:

• JVM + Android targets

So the code in jvmAndAndroidMain can only access what is accessible in commonMain.
If it's only one API, you can just use expect/actual.
If you want to access all JVM APIs, I think you need to create a JVM module and make androidMain and jvmMain depend on that module.

"create a JVM module and make..."

That would mean a separate Gradle project, correct?

A separate Gradle module.
