is anyone aware if it's possible to depend on the android SDKs indepently without using the android or android library plugins (just via the dependencies gradle block)? trying to do something with the android lib with KSP and running into trouble

retrofit does this.

ooh interesting! looks like this version is rather old which would give me some trouble, but it's a great jumping off point. thanks trevor!

another thing you can do is just add a platform-stubs sub project and just replicate out the classes you need. i'll do that for simpler things like shared prefs so I can keep things in jar projects rather than aar projects.

You can use org.robolectric:android-all which has the latest APIs.
