Trying to work out how to specify a base gradle KTS file (for things like compile/min/target sdk etc) to be applied by each android library module. Is this still not possible? https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl-samples/issues/1287

Just don't use the generated accessors. replace android {} with configure<BaseExtension>{}

[mbonnin]

Ah no I missed that part:

In other words they don't share the classpath of the plugins applied to the project build script, hence they cannot see com.android.*

[mbonnin]

So it does look impossible indeed, sorry. It's more a limitation of gradle than kts though

Thanks, yeah, I just found that out: Unresolved reference: android when trying to reference com.android.build.gradle.BaseExtension

[mbonnin]

I could really use some article/talk about how Gradle uses classloaders

[mbonnin]

This whole part looks pretty complex

[Mark]

For me, it has to be simple to implement/understand, otherwise better to stick with copy-paste!

I would advice you to put this shared logic inside buildSrc module as kotlin script plugin - then you could just apply it to each android subproject. See https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#kotdsl:precompiled_plugins
