Currently just testing multiplatform on Android (not iOS or Web yet). I would like to clarify the configuration of coroutines and ktor. In the KaMPKit,

androidMain

has

org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android

, but in my project it seems to compile also without specifying it. However it doesn’t compile if from

androidMain

I remove

io.ktor:ktor-client-android

. Can anyone give an explanation? Is there a reason why Ktor requires the android-specific library and coroutines doesn’t?

kotlinx-coroutines-android

just has the Android implementation of

Dispatchers.Main

and some related utilities. If you don't have it you'll probably fail at runtime when you try to access that dispatcher.

I am actually using Dispatchers.Main, but it doesn’t fail at runtime
