Hi there, does anyone have experience using mavenLocal() with kmm? I made a kmm library named multiplatform, and performed publishToMavenLocal. The jar files look to be in my local path .m2 path. So I'm not too sure why I'm getting this error when importing:

- file:/C:/Users/bchadwi/.m2/repository/me/bchadwi/multiplatform-android/1.0.2/multiplatform-android-1.0.2.pom
     Required by:
         project :app > me.bchadwi:multiplatform:1.0.2

Specifically, why gradle is looking for a multiplatform-android ?

[Big Chungus]

Because your multiplatform.jar file is just a metadata to tell gradle where to get platform specific artefacts (multiplatform-android.aar, multiplatform-iosX64.klib, etc...)

Gotcha so then, would it be possible to publish the multiplatform-android.aar from my multiplatform build.gradle.kts?

[Big Chungus]

Should happen automatically if you've configured your targets properly

[russhwolf]

You need to explicitly enable Android publishing, so make sure you've done that. See https://kotlinlang.org/docs/mpp-publish-lib.html#publish-an-android-library

Thank you both, this helps a lot
