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

[Kris Wong]

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

[Mike Wolfson]

OK, that is good to know

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

[Mike Wolfson]

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.

[Kris Wong]

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
