What is the best practice for testing common code on Android? In my Kotlin MPP the allTests task runs tests only on iOS (specifically a task called iosSimTest). If you write Android specific tests they run on android successfully by running the task called testDebugUnitTest . I cannot figure out how to run the common test cases on Android. Am I supposed to run them on JVM and it is not possible to run on Android? I currently do not have a JVM target set up since it is an iOS/Android project only.

I set up a JVM target to run the Android tests with like this:

val jvmTest by getting {
    dependencies {
        implementation(kotlin("test"))
        implementation(kotlin("test-junit"))
    }
    kotlin.srcDir("src/androidTest/kotlin")
    resources.srcDir("src/androidTest/resources")
}

val androidMain by getting {
    dependencies {
        implementation(kotlin("stdlib"))
        implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-android:$ktorVersion")
        implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-json-jvm:$ktorVersion")
        implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-serialization-jvm:$ktorVersion")
        implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-logging-jvm:$ktorVersion")
    }
}

Is this the best I can do? Cannot figure out how to run them directly on an Android emulator like on iOS.
