11/17/2018, 5:20 PMHi, I'm trying to build my first multi platform project using the new multi platform plugin.
Before I used to build the platform apps as sub-modules but now it's as sourcesets can someone explain why jetbrains decide to switch to sourcesets and is it possible to still use the new plugin but with the submodule fashion?

11/17/2018, 6:51 PMYes, I'm already experiencing with it, right now... It's kind of a big migration from the first way. Can we actually apply the multi platform on sub-modules? Just like if we were building a library?
