Hello kotliners, A question of opinion here. I have been building multiplatform libs to be shared across (jvm,android and js). In very many cases, my source codes only reside in

commonMain

which is obviously a good thing. However, I do end up including

jvm

,

android

and

js

as compilation targets. My question. Since the

android

platform basically uses

java

classes. Is there a need for me to keep including

android

as a compilation target? coz I do have the java target and all. Those who skipped compiling for the

android

target, have you ever faced an issue during importing your library to an

android

development? Note: All targets are compiled using the

IR

backend

As I understand it, if your library doesn't need Android features then

jvm

is totally sufficient, no need for

android

. Library consumers will be able to use your

jvm

artifacts in their Android apps/libraries. If your library depends on Android specific dependencies then you'll be stuck having to provide

android

artifacts.

Thank you for your kind words

Yeah I'd recommend not using Android but jvm if possible. Compilation speed is hugely better.

Your advice is already put to action. You guys rock
