that's the name. it doesn't mean anything.

I guess I will take this to StackOverflow, I am not clear what you are describing, and don't want to consume this channel.

Pretty sure I need some config in the kotlin{} section of this gradle file, but I have no idea what that is supposed to be

if you want to use the android SDK, you have to make it an Android library. have you ever created an android library?

<@UCC78FVRA> You want to read that documentation that covers Android support: <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html>

I did read that documentation and the portions of the gradle file that I need are just comments:

'''plugins {
    id("com.android.library")
    kotlin("multiplatform").version("1.3.50")
}

android { /* ... */ }

kotlin {
    android { // Create the Android target
        // Provide additional configuration if necessary
    }
}'''

I have also searched GitHub to try and find a better example of this.

the android bits are the same as any android library

I am about to start working on a blog post that will address this specifically, but sadly it will be a few weeks before it would go live

This module depends on `buildSrc` content and supports Android, macOS and iOS: <https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/blob/5a12cda203e5c1069ef29528231cfd2dcb6d97e9/modules/preferences/build.gradle.kts>
IDE works fine for me in Android Studio 3.5.0 with Kotlin 1.3.50, for both Android and iOS/macOS sources.
Trying it from your IDE might be helpful. Be sure to clone/download this revision or the develop branch.

Thanks for the example, I am sure that will be super helpful...especially since it looks like it is using the plugins DSL
