Android project doesn't see code in commonMain

I've tested this project out https://github.com/touchlab/KMMBridgeSampleKotlin
and I've then created a shared module in my existing project (normal Android Project, not KMM enabled). I've tried both creating the module from scratch and also importing the module from the project above.

It seems that I can't access the Shared class from commonMain from my Android Project code, unless I move the class to main. In the above project, it works just fine having it in commonMain.

I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, but ... I have no idea what.

I'd copy-paste the build.gradle from the shared module, but it's exactly as the from from the project above https://github.com/touchlab/KMMBridgeSampleKotlin/blob/main/shared/build.gradle.kts

Any ideas on what else I need to setup/enable?

A few things you can check:

Make sure that the shared module is included in the project settings. To do this, open the settings.gradle file in your project and add the following line:

include(":shared")

This will ensure that the shared module is included in the project.

Check the dependencies in your build.gradle file for the app module. Make sure that you have added the shared module as a dependency:

implementation(project(":shared"))

This will ensure that the app module has access to the classes in the shared module.

Make sure that the commonMain source set is configured correctly in the shared module's build.gradle file.

sourceSets {
    val commonMain by getting {
        dependencies {
            implementation(...)
        }
    }
}

I simply had to update my gradle dependencies. I updated the com.android.tools.build:gradle to something above 7.x and also kotlin plugin to a higher version, com.google.gms:google-services to 4.3.x and now it works.
