Hi, has anyone used Koin with ViewModels in Compose Multiplatform?
All examples and even Koin official docs say that dependency io.insert-koin:koin-compose-viewmodel should be in the commonMain source set but for some reason the build fails with the below error

KMP Dependencies Resolution Failure
Source set ‘appleMain’ couldn’t resolve dependencies for all target platforms
Couldn’t resolve dependency ‘io.insert-koin:koin-compose-viewmodel’ in ‘appleMain’ for all target platforms.
The dependency should target platforms: [iosArm64, iosSimulatorArm64]
Unresolved platforms: [iosArm64, iosSimulatorArm64]
Run the build with ‘--info’ for more details.
Solution: Make sure you are using a dependency that targets all required platforms or move your dependency and relevant code to a more applicable source set: <https://kotl.in/57b2-source-set-dependencies>

That's strange, I have it in commonMain and it works as expected.

[Damjan Miloshevski]

which Koin version are you using ?

[Damjan Miloshevski]

This is the entire stacktrace, I’ve gone mad

[Jonas]

I use koin-bom "4.1.1"

[Damjan Miloshevski]

yeah, the same

[Damjan Miloshevski]

can you share the gradle file so that I can compare if you want ?

kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        androidMain.dependencies {
            ...
        }
        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation(projects.shared)
            implementation(project.dependencies.platform(libs.koin.bom))

            implementation(libs.koin.compose)
            implementation(libs.koin.compose.viewmodel)
            implementation(libs.koin.core)
        }
        iosMain.dependencies {
            ...
        }
        commonTest.dependencies {
            ...
        }
    }
}

That's my redacted sourceSets

[Damjan Miloshevski]

yeah, thanks, I’m interested in Koin

[Jonas]

looks like you're using an alpha version

[Damjan Miloshevski]

but Koin also use 4.2.0-alpha03 in their code sample 😄

[Damjan Miloshevski]

which AGP version are you on ?

[Jonas]

"8.11.1"

[Damjan Miloshevski]

i use 8.13.1 and they also use it

[Damjan Miloshevski]

let me revert and see what happens

[Damjan Miloshevski]

i read somewhere some conflicting dependency may cause this

[Damjan Miloshevski]

which Kotlin version are you on ?

[Jonas]

"2.2.21"

[Damjan Miloshevski]

why on Earth is failing for me, lol

[Jonas]

😬 beats me

[Damjan Miloshevski]

do you have gradle.properties set to bypass this ?

[Jonas]

Did you clean and re-sync the project? Maybe it's a caching issue

[Damjan Miloshevski]

let me try that as well, i did restart the studio with invalidate caches 2 times

[Jonas]

🤔 strange indeed

[Damjan Miloshevski]

no way ./gradlew clean actually worked

[Damjan Miloshevski]

my god, Gradle is such a mess

[Jonas]

😮‍💨

[Jonas]

Nice!

[Damjan Miloshevski]

Jesus Christ..

[Damjan Miloshevski]

thank you

[Jonas]

You're welcome! Good luck with your project

[Damjan Miloshevski]

ah, it doesn’t work on iOS again, haha

[Damjan Miloshevski]

Android started

[Damjan Miloshevski]

oh it went through, some issue with the Studio, ok nvm 😄

[Damjan Miloshevski]

thanks again

[Damjan Miloshevski]

I resolved it, thanks for the assist. It was crazy f up with the dependencies. It’s brand new project so these things are crazy, luckily i found out what it was
