Hi, I'm new to kotlin multiplatform and I want to create a multiplatform library using coroutines and

Flow

. Is there any material how to get started with that? I looked into existing multiplaform libraries configs on github and copied most

build.gradle

config but I get a lot of

unresolved reference

errors while compiling:

library/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/freeletics/flowredux/FlowRedux.kt: (7, 32): Unresolved reference: Flow

You need to depend on the native artifact in commonMain.

I'm including

api "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core-common:1.3.2"

. Is there another "native artifact"?

Yes, with

native

in place of

common

, and it works for Android too, because it holds all the Gradle metadata (Gradle 5.3+ required) that links to the right artifacts for each supported platform. You just have to declare it for commonMain. Note that 1.3.2 is Kotlin/Native 1.3.50 only. Use

1.3.2-1.3.60

or

1.3.2-native-mt-1

for Kotlin/Native 1.3.60.

ah, thanks

Is it just me or that feels quite unintuitive ? Common shouldn't know anything about native, right ?

The naming of the artifact, yes, but it's like that for historical reasons and will change sometime.
