I’m trying to add these dependencies, any help please

If you are using the kotlin() function then you dont need the full path.
You can either do api(...) or api(kotlin(std-lib-common))
I dont know if these work exactly as I have them, but the point is that you are mixing kotlin() and the full path.

And You can’t add android dependencies to common source set
Try to move android dependencies to separate block

val androidMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation("androidx.core:core-ktx:1.3.1")
            }
        }

@Kamil Kalisz not sure what that means

[Kamil Kalisz]

so In common source set you should define only dependencies that will be used by all targets.

[Kamil Kalisz]

so android VIewModel/LiveData dependency should be in androidMain instead of common main

[Brian Donovan]

but the structure is the viewModel should be in the KMM layer right?

[Kamil Kalisz]

but “androidx-lifecycle” can be used only on android. So you need to have your own abstraction layer

[Kamil Kalisz]

you can try to use some existing libraries

you can also use `expect`/`actual` pattern to define your own ViewModel
