An this is what I get :

[Lucas León]

Already tried reimporting the maven project, cleaning cache, mvn idea:idea and also in a different machine

[Ivan Pavlov]

If I'm not mistaken, you need to add jvm suffix for dependencies, because it is kotlin multiplatform and dependency for jvm has this suffix. You can see example of dependency here https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.ktor/ktor-client-core-jvm/1.6.7

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Determining appropriate artifacts based on a platform isn't supported for Maven.

Thanks guys! That actually worked. Haven't read that in the docs though
