Hello, World! Does anyone know if it's possible to have a MP project that both publishes an Android library artifact (.aar), and contains an Android app sample. It appears to me that I find samples that either apply the

com.android.library

gradle plugin (to publish an aar artifact) or the

com.android.application

one (to have a sample app) - but of course you can't apply both. Ideas?

That was possible with the old MPP plugins, where each target is a separate module rather than a sourceSet. Not so sure now 😕

Build your aar in common as a library. Then you can have an application project that consumes that module and expose the application through that. What is it you are trying to achieve exactly?

well I'm trying to have a MP library to be consumed by Android and iOS and it would be nice if it contained a sample app in such a way that if I open the project in the IDE, I can just run the app. Instead of having a separate sample app project.

All you need is a separate module

oh! of course 🙂

You can run the app from the app module and use your common code between both

perfect 🙂 Thanks a lot

Not really. I had same issue with the MPP library I'm working on as well. What I did was just a separate gradle module for the app that depends on the lib via

implementation(project(":libModuleName"))

yeah that makes sense now that I think of it 🙂

^ yep. Separate module for the application that implements the library

👍 thanks all!
