Hello i have 2 questions one about compilation and another about tests :
1) when your shared code is compiled with kotlin native for android does it use jvm or other thing?
2) I tried mockk to unit test my shared code but i saw recently that when you launch it through android studio it use jvm so i'm wondering what is the good way to test shared code for ios and android?

When you use Kotlin/Native compiler, you are producing native code, like when you code on the C/C++ for Android. But because of shared code mention in your text, it is possible that you mean the Kotlin/MPP paradigm. If this is true, there would be two different ways to target Android. On the one hand, one can target it as android, which uses JVM. On the other one, you can specify androidNative target, that would be compiled by Native, just like I explained earlier. Also, I recommend you to check this part of the documentation(https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#supported-platforms).

so when i use fromPreset(presets.android, 'android') in my gradle it uses JVM?

Mockk and other mocking libraries doesn't support native unfortunately

@thevery so when i use mockK inside my commonTest, launching unit test through android studio execute it with jvm that’s why it works?

Yes
