I'm getting Unresolved reference for `ktor`symbols inside the MPP code. This should be solved by adding enableFeaturePreview("GRADLE_METADATA") but then I get error messages on other dependencies:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unsupported format version '0.3' specified in module metadata. This version of Gradle supports format version 0.4 only.
	at org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ivyresolve.parser.ModuleMetadataParser$1.transform(ModuleMetadataParser.java:80)

. It is possible to have a workaround to have both?

What Gradle version are you using?

[Andy Victors]

4.10.1

[ribesg]

I’m using 5.4.1 and it works

[Andy Victors]

I'll try with 5.x now, but I think the problem is with this particular dependency with older metadata format. I wonder why both could not be supported by gradle.

What version of Ktor are you using ?

[Andy Victors]

1.1.3

[ribesg]

You’re using an old version, problems are expected

[ribesg]

Upgrade to 1.1.5, or even better, 1.2.0 which has been out for minutes already

[ribesg]

Multiplatform is very experimental so you need to make sure to always use the latest versions of everything. You should also try alpha/beta/rc versions when available. Things change quickly and if you don’t adapt to changes immediately you may find yourself under a huge pile of changes

[Andy Victors]

I see that. Trying to upgrade and match all versions. Getting:
ERROR: Failed to resolve: io.ktor:ktor-network:1.1.5

[Andy Victors]

Previously I had only implementation "io.ktor:ktor-client:$ktor_version" in gradle

Ok, I solved the maven repository issue. But unfortunately after all my body movements the main issue still remains - ktor imports are red and the project does not compile. Cleaning caches, .gradle, .idea folders did not help. 😕

Do you have these repositories

maven("<https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlinx>")
maven("<https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/ktor>")

[ribesg]

Also I have 12 ktor dependencies, not just 1

[Andy Victors]

now yes. gradle runs ok

[Andy Victors]

Thank you again for your help. At least the project compiles now. The dependencies are still displayed red, just hope it will go away with later gradle/as versions
