Does a C-library compiled with cinterop tool support Android app as well or is it just for the iOS app? If so, how would a build.gradle file look like that has a cinterop tag to build a klib file for both the platforms. I am unable to make this klib work for android right now. Any ideas?

There are no changes from the last time. Please, keep calm for some time.
Also, it looks like you misunderstood the concept of .klib produced by cinterop. According to (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/native/libraries.html#cinterop-tool-specifics) it makes “wrappers for native libraries”, not ready to deploy libs.

We use a thin SWIG generation for our native libraries. Nevertheless this enforces you to provide proper C headers.

It is very common for C libraries to provide headers. Headers are needed to create a Shared library.
