Hey I haven't used Kotlin MPP since they did their major redesign of the project structure and I can't seem to figure it out.
I just want to add a Kotlin-only MPP module to my Android app and failing horribly.
Heres the build.gradle.kts file for the new module

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform")
}

kotlin {
    targets {
        targetFromPreset(presets.getByName("jvm"), "android")
    }
    sourceSets {
        commonMain {
            dependencies {
                implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-common:1.3.61")
            }
        }
        getByName("androidMain") {
            dependencies {
                implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.3.61")
            }
        }
    }
}

Everything builds fine, but my Android module can't see the kotlin MPP one

You have to add android settings in mpp, module:
1. add id("com.android.library") to plugins {}
2. add android settings:

android {
    compileSdkVersion(29)
    buildToolsVersion = "29.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion(16)
        targetSdkVersion(29)
    }
    sourceSets {
        val main by getting { setRoot("src/androidMain") }
    }
}

3. create directory src/androidMain with some empty AndroidManifest.xml inside it.
Now it should work

Btw, do you actually need android source set?
if it is kotlin-only module, maybe it would be better for you to stick with jvm only?

[krtko]

As of right now I do not need an Android source set

[krtko]

Sorry just trying to figure out how to make this all work these days

[krtko]

So if I was to just add a JVM source set what would that look like?

[krtko]

Ok figured it out

Thank you
