12/24/2022, 8:49 PMIs it possible to develop a KMM library and app in tandem? I mean is there a workflow where I can make changes to the library, make corresponding changes to the app, and build & run to test? Or must I first publish my library changes (to MavenLocal for example), update dependencies in my app, make my app changes, and only then can I build and test?

12/28/2022, 12:12 AMThanks @Big Chungus. Do you know of an example of this type of project setup? Specifically, I'm building a KMM (iOS and Android) library that will be published internally for use in apps in our organization, and I'd like to include with it a sample app that links directly to the library (no publishing required) for faster iteration while developing the library.
