Can I export a common dependency to android?
like

val commonMain by getting {
    dependencies {
        api(Deps.kotlinxDateTime)
    }
}

or maybe

val androidMain by getting {
    dependencies {
        api(Deps.kotlinxDateTime)
    }
}

And use kotlinx datetime from android? PS: I tried these but they didn't work.

This is enough

val commonMain by getting {
    dependencies {
        api(Deps.kotlinxDateTime)
    }
}

and you will see DateTime in Android app module

Well I was also sure this would work but it didn't 😕

I'm pubishing to maven repository and consuming the artifact from android project. Maybe there is something I need to do while publishing

[rudolf.hladik]

that’s strange, I use this artifact org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-datetime in common as api and I can use it in Android

[Osman Saral]

I get
Unresolved reference: datetime
Cannot access class 'kotlinx.datetime.Instant'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies

[Osman Saral]

maybe this is a different error 😕

Does it actually build, though?
There's a bug that causes this type of problem, it complains but works anyway.

[Osman Saral]

no it doesn't build

[Osman Saral]

well, it somehow built actually. it didn't build on ci. i cleaned the build and it didn't build on local machine either.
