Is there a way to use Gradle modules instead of targets?

[Big Chungus]

Yes, regular gradle modules

[Big Chungus]

Just apply MPP plugin and declare same targets

[Big Chungus]

Note that if module A targets only JS and module B targets JS & JVM, module B cannot depend on module A, but module A can depend on module B since it satisfies module A targets requirement.

[Zahara Vidumshikova]

So if common has expect things I can implement them in those gradle submodules?

[Big Chungus]

Ah, no. all expect/actual interactions must happen in the same module. For inter-module implementations you should just use good old interfaces

[Big Chungus]

Otherwise there would be no way to guarantee that all targets implement the expects

[Zahara Vidumshikova]

Hm... It sounds strange. We can copy the common target into each module at last.

what is your use case for doing that
