Makes sense. On the other hand, the very same official example uses iOS classes to obtain the device info, and then in the Android section they just return a string Android 😄 which nicely circumvents having to deal with all of that but can lead to quite some confusion as you say. I guess we just have to live with the fact that for now a lot of things are in flux and documentation is lacking, but it is improving constantly.

Have you seen https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-mpp-example/blob/0ace750ffd2ccb8dd4adf40f26b4d6ecc462c06a/greeting/src/androidLibMain/kotlin/android.kt#L11?

@olonho Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for and very much along the lines of what @Dennis L said. Applying the com.android.library/application plugin in the build.gradle file of the shared module and adding a dummy manifest file to src/main/res in there.

I've checked pull requests now and [there is one](https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-web-site/pull/1277) that partially addresses this, but not fully enough. Do you mind if I make a pull request of my own for that page and include the required AndroidManifest and com.android.library, as well as changes to the Android source code so that it actually uses the Android system classes?
