What's the recommended way to publish multiplatform libraries to bintray these days ? For regular JVM projects, I'm able to publish with maven-publish by using the bintray API and <https://api.bintray.com/maven/subject/repo/package> as url but this doesn't work anymore on multiplatform projects since a project (in the gradle meaning) will have multiple packages (in the Bintray meaning), one for each arch.

Actually, you can have multiple artifactIds in one bintray package. That's how kotlinx.coroutines, Splitties and more are doing. Let me know if you need further help

Nice!

What are packages used for then ? 🤷‍♂️

And what happens if 2 files have the same paths in 2 different packages ?

[mbonnin]

I'm getting this when trying to upload the plugin marker to the plugin package...

Could not PUT '<https://api.bintray.com/maven/apollographql/android/apollo-gradle-plugin/;publish=1;override=1/com/apollographql/apollo/com.apollographql.apollo.gradle.plugin/1.4.0/com.apollographql.apollo.gradle.plugin-1.4.0.pom>'. Received status code 409 from server: Conflict

I guess this answers my question about 2 files with the same path in 2 different packages

Works like a charm 👌

I spent so much time keeping track of new packages everytime we added a new module...

[mbonnin]

THANKS!

It's something I also discovered on my own that I wish was documented by bintray. As for 409 errors, sometimes, it happens for no reason on bintray and passes after retrying FYI.

Now I need to merge all the packages in one while still keeping the jcenter sync.

[louiscad]

I wondering if the latter is possible without help from bintray support 🤔

[mbonnin]

Yep, not sure about this either. The support is usually responsive though 🤞

I believe bintray packages are for grouping artifacs that are published and versioned together.

[louiscad]

Ah yes, exactly!

[mbonnin]

For the record, looks like I'm not the first one to having mapped bintray packages to maven publications. Bintray has a "merge" button that does exactly what I want: https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/BT/Managing+Uploaded+Content#ManagingUploadedContent-MergingPackages

Great find!
