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?
