I want to share something, it's not a bug, but rather a wrong expectation, continue in thread..

[Dumitru Preguza]

because I'm not a very Gradle professional I had in my shared module these dependencies:

commonMain.dependencies {
    implementation(libs.kotlinx.coroutines.core)

    implementation(libs.kotlinx.rpc.core)
    implementation(libs.kotlinx.serialization.core)
    implementation(libs.kotlinx.serialization.json)

    implementation(libs.ktor.client.core)
    implementation(libs.ktor.client.content.negotiation)
    implementation(libs.ktor.serialization.kotlinx.json)

    implementation(libs.oidc)
    implementation(libs.oidc.ktor)

    implementation(project.dependencies.platform(libs.koin.bom))
    implementation(libs.koin.core)
    implementation(project.dependencies.platform(libs.koin.annotations.bom))
    implementation(libs.koin.annotations)
}

and I expected if I put this in my compose module:

commonMain.dependencies {
    implementation(projects.shared)  <---- Import shared module
    //...compose impl
}

Then I will get automatically in the compose module - all implementation/dependencies from the shared module too..

But only the API of the shared module will be imported, not the dependencies - unless used by your shared module code

Instead of implementation you can use api to make the transitive dependencies from a project visible to the importing project.

Also for grade related question it would be better to ask in #C19FD9681

[Chrimaeon]

Better approach though would be to create a convention plugin.

Thanks @Chrimaeon, did not know about this info
