Hello, is it currently possible to use Compose for Kotlin Multiplatform to create a common module which can provide Composables to both Kotlin/JVM for Desktop and Kotlin/JS for Web modules?

The use case for this would be to create a UI that is consistent across both Desktop and Web without having to recreate UI models separately per platform.

I am aware data models can be designed and shared using the architecture stated above but am unsure whether shared composables can be used in the same way. Is it possible to have a module with both jvm + js targets which imports and compiles "org.jetbrains.compose" and creates all the artifacts needed for both JVM and JS modules?

An example error message of this not being allowed to happen (possibly due to me configuring incorrectly):

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':web:jsTestPackageJson'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':web:jsTestNpm'.
   > Could not resolve org.jetbrains.compose.foundation:foundation:1.0.1-rc2.

The consumer was configured to find a usage of 'kotlin-runtime' of a library, preferably optimized for non-jvm, as well as attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type' with value 'js', attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.js.compiler' with value 'ir' but:
          - Variant 'debugApiElements-published' capability org.jetbrains.compose.foundation:foundation:1.0.1-rc2 declares a library:
