When I publish my KMM library to Maven and try to add my dependency to an Android application it seems I have to declare it like this for it to work

releaseImplementation 'io.github.tyczj:myLib-android:0.X.X@aar'
debugImplementation 'io.github.tyczj:myLib-android-debug:0.X.X@aar'

What do I have to do to be able to add the dependency like one would for basically every other KMM or Android library? like this is what I am looking for

implementation 'io.github.tyczj:myLib-android:0.X.X

Hard to say without seeing your gradle config. You should get it the way you want by default when you apply the

maven-publish

plugin. Docs here if it helps https://kotlinlang.org/docs/mpp-publish-lib.html#publish-an-android-library

@russhwolf here is the project, its just a simple logging library. I believe I followed everything that link says to do

Hmm. Maybe your staging build type is causing an issue. But I'm not sure since you don't publish it. If you add

matchingFallbacks = listOf("release", "debug")

to your consuming app, does it help?

Fall backs don't help. And the library is published

I mean the staging build type isn't published

how would I publish the staging build type? I just assumed everything was handled already with that

Add it to this list https://github.com/tyczj/Lumberjack/blob/master/build.gradle.kts#L30

so it would look like this?

publishLibraryVariants("release", "debug", "staging")

yeah give that a try

when I remove the staging i get a warning after a gradle sync saying

Failed to resolve: Lumberjack-android-1.0.2-samplessources

When I do a build I get this gradle error
