Anyone having issues declaring `coreLibraryDesugaring` inside `androidMain` dependencies? It seems that this function does not exist for the `multiplatform` plugin

Are you applying `com.android.library` plugin?

no… I just created a project on AS 4.1, then created a new MPP module using the Jetbrains plugin, then for the Android dependencies I declared both `compileOptions { coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled true }` and inside dependencies  `coreLibraryDesugaring com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:1.0.10`

oh, it works if I dont declare it inside androidMain’s dependencies, but as a top level dependencies block

Hi, I have the same struggle, is there an example to follow? <@U0E767GDA>

What have you tried that it didn't work? The solution is to pretty much copy what an android-only module would have 

so basically apply the android plugin, create a `dependencies {}` block and add the `coreLibraryDesugaring` inside. You can keep KMM modules depending on kotlinx-datetime

When doing all of the above in an Android module it works fine. I would like to apply coreLibraryDesugaring straight to the KMM module in it’s build.gradle.kts file

does this work for you?
```apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform'


android {
  compileOptions {
    coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled true
  }
}

kotlin {
  android()
  ios()

  sourceSets {
    commonMain {
      dependencies {
        api libs.kotlin.datetime
      }
    }
    commonTest {
      dependencies {
      }
    }
    iosMain {
      dependencies {
      }
    }
    androidMain {
      dependencies {
      }
    }
  }
}

dependencies {
  coreLibraryDesugaring libs.desugar
}```
