I have some problems with dependencies, what is the correct way, in a MPP, to use a MPP library as a dependency?

sourceSets {

        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                api("mygroup:mympplib:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
            }
        }

        val androidMain by getting {
            dependencies {

            }
        }

        for (iosTarget in iosTargets) {
            getByName("${iosTarget.name}Main") {
                dependencies {

                }
            }
        }

    }

When I sync the gradle project in idea it prints

Could not resolve mygroup:mylib:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.
Could not resolve mygroup:mylib:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.

But the configure is successful. When building, the references to the lib are not found, but IDEA sees everything and does’t give any error

Could you write here how you are including the library?

sourceSets {

        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                api("mygroup:mylib:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
            }
        }

        val androidMain by getting {
            dependencies {

            }
        }

        for (iosTarget in iosTargets) {
            getByName("${iosTarget.name}Main") {
                dependencies {

                }
            }
        }

    }

This is the only code in the lib I’m importing (for now):

val Http = HttpClient {
    install(JsonFeature) {
        serializer = KotlinxSerializer(Json.nonstrict)
    }
}

IDEA see’s Http, but it’s not found on compilation of Android Kotlin Debug sources

Replacing my last snippet with

object HttpClientFactory {

    fun create(): HttpClient = HttpClient {
        install(JsonFeature) {
            serializer = KotlinxSerializer(Json.nonstrict)
        }
    }

}

and using that instead works

"mygroupmympplib0.0.1-SNAPSHOT" - "groupnamevertsion" - this dependency style only work if you publish your module/library to maven or to maven local
i think you need just

api(project(":mympplib"))

[ribesg]

My dependency is published.
