Hi everyone!
Could someone tell me if it is possible to access properties from gradle.properties in common code?
If not, how can I set an environment variable and read it on common code?

Thanks in advance

Hi Rita, Could you share your use case ? As i know gradle.properties are compile time available, and are not included into result binary. I don’t know your use case but probably it would be best for you to generate kotlin class in the common code that will contain configuration values from gradle.properties

This is what I am doing at the moment. By using gradle, I export a json file, that is bundle up in android, or, js, or jvm. From there I can read the variables from the json as my environment variables.

I have defined expect actual methods for reading json into a Map<String,Any> which can be used in MPP

Thanks for the answers 🙂 So I should add a new file with the variables I need right?

Meanwhile I started using an external library called BuildKonfig that let me specify some variables from gradle.properties to be used inside common code

a link to BuildKonfig please?
