Noob android developer here. I have my kotlin multiplatform project which is currently being used in an iOS project via the framework that is generated by konan.
What do i do if i want to use this in an android app? Do i generate a jar file and put it in the host app?

You create a kotlin-platform-android or kotlin-platform-jvm module, with an expectedBy dependency on your common module

Then consume it like and other library module

@russhwolf It causes IDE error in my case, where the Android studio won’t recognise the kotlin code from the common and platform-android module (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50363138/why-i-have-syntax-error-in-ide-after-adding-a-gradle-project-to-another-repo-eve). I ended up by generate an aar file and use it in the android project.

Yeah, i’ve seen that. I switched to the IDEA 2018.2 EAP and that seemed to help. There’s not an officially supported multiplatform IDE yet so you have to expect some of these rough edges.
