How can I add a special extension to a class only for Android? In iOS, this worked:

fun MyType.newMethod(x: NSSomething) {}

I could call it from iOS with the appropriate type. But if I add the equivalent in Android, it isn’t callable.

that sounds odd. i've added symbols to my android target and not had any issues calling them from an app

If the goal is adding it so you can call it from common, then you need to do an expect/actual for the extension, which you can do. Expects in each platform on their own should work, though.

@Kris Wong how did you add something to only the android target then?

i right clicked on the source folder and selected new Kotlin class 😛

oh, so a new type, not an extension to an already existing one

correct

It’s interesting that it did work on iOS, so I guess this is a bug

I’d be pretty surprised if you couldn’t add extension functions on Android. If you’ve got a very small repro in a repo I’d take a look.

Damn, it’s really hard to make a new repo 😅

if you only need a JVM target and not android specifically, the new project wizard does a pretty good job for me
