If I have a library that is written entirely in common code, and I want to consume it from Android and JVM, do I need both targets, or

jvm

would be enough?

I think jvm is enough (as long as it's 1.8?) since android can use general Java libraries. Stuff like Moshi and Ktor are just JVM. Would be nice to get conformation though

There's no reason to use the multiplatform plugin. Use the JVM plugin.

Only

jvm

@jw sorry should have specified that I also want to consume it from other platforms (native, etc...). As a follow up, if the common code depends on another multiplatform library that has both

jvm

and

android

targets (like compose desktop), would my library also need both

jvm

and `android`targets, or will the consumer of my library be able to transitively pull in the right artifacts?

I see. And as others have said, just 'jvm' is all you need.
