Is there a documentation about which stdlib dependency does what? For example, should I use stdlib-jdk8 for an Android lib/app?

[Marko Mitic]

I think not, stdlib-jdk8 relies on java 8 APIs being available

[louiscad]

You can use jdk7 for now, and use jdk8 once AndroidX migrates to java8

[louiscad]

Java 12, 13 or 14 might be generally available by this time BTW 🧌

The code is there: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/deb416484c5128a6f4bc76c39a3d9878b38cec8c/libraries/stdlib/jvm/src/kotlin/internal/PlatformImplementations.kt#L37

[mbonnin]

I "think" you can use -jdk8 and it'll still run on Android even if there's no java8, it's all detected at runtime

[mbonnin]

stdlib-jdk8 = stdlib-jdk7 + some regex things
stdlib-jdk7 = stdlib + suppressed exceptions

[mbonnin]

There might be other small things but really, most of everything is in the regular stdlib
