Additionally, I expect

android.xxx.

symbols will be visible in the

androidMain

code but compiler does not find them in my case. How is it supposed to implement

actual

methods if I need android namespace methods?

Are you using

android()

target in your gradle build config?

Yes, but

fromPreset(presets.jvm, 'android')

. Does it make a difference? I have also learned that I need to

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

but the project still does not compile

Yes, a big one, the jvm preset is jvm, not android

Thank you, indeed, using jvm preset should have been the root of all my problems. it works now!
