Hi, is it possible with multiplatform to create two separate jvm modules? I would like to have one for regular JVM and one for Android.
Or is it because it's the same platform that is impossible?

[Desmond Teo]

yes it’s possible, there’s jvm() and android() which you can call in the kotlin { } block in the gradle file

[oshai]

thanks, do you know if there is such an example available?

[Desmond Teo]

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#setting-up-targets this shows how to set up the different targets (jvm and android for your case)

[Desmond Teo]

might also be helpful to read up the Android support section https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#android-support

Thanks! is it possible two have two seperate implementations for the same platform (like two jvm modules or two android modules) by specifying different names?

You can have as many jvm targets as you want. But you can have only one android target

[StefMa]

It should be possible with a jvm target. Just give it a different name jvm("first") and jvm("second")

[andylamax]

and yes, each of them can have different implementations

good to know, thanks!
