Question

I m setting up a multiplatform multi module project I want to have a module `A` there which doesn t target any specific end platform itself but is acting as a common library which can be added into another multiplatform module `B` Module `A` would make use of another multiplatform libs stdlib coroutines and sqldelight It s the module `B` that will target `Android` and `iOS` It seems it can t be done using `kotlin multiplatform` plugin as a tooling 1 Am I right 2 Is there another tooling plugin available that will allow me to configure such a common module

From my experience you are right but your pure kotlin module A will need to define platform targets such as `linux` `jvm` `iosX64` etc if you want to use them in your module `B `

How do you add A to B submodule artifact etc

There s no such thing as a common module which doesn t declare targets Set up the same targets in `A` that you need in `B` and it will work

< Konstantin Petrukhnov> I was trying using implementation project A in build script of B

Sam · Answer

Classes of A are not visible in B however they are visible in the end app module which uses B as dependency

< russhwolf> I m trying with Android target in both A and B ```kotlin android ```

Sam · Answer

then plugging in A into B as dependency `api project A ` and in the and B is plugged into android app In the android app classes from A are available in B not thinking face

Sam · Answer

using implementation instead of api doesn t help

Just to sanity check Are you certain classes aren t visible or is it that they don t autocomplete It might be an IDE issue Try manually calling things make sure you have the right imports and see if it builds from command line gradle If not would have to see the project in more detail to be able to say much more

Argh man facepalming You are 100 right It s an IDE issue Command line build is successful even though IDE can t find the classes Thank you for guiding me into right direction
