Mmm yes. Android applications are terminal modules, they can't really be used as a dependency

in general, jvm cannot depend on android. The other way around is fine though

You can have this:
```plugins {
  id("com.android.application")
  id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android")
}

dependencies {
  implementation(project(":jvm-only"))
}```


but not the other way around as <@UES7RHBDZ> said

I guess this applies to `id("com.android.library")` as well?

Yes, Android uses `.aar` files that JVM in general doesn't understand

Android ships resources and other things in their `.aar` and has some APIs that are not available to JVM (`Context, Views` , etc..). If you want to consume that from a JVM project, you'll have to isolate the non-android parts
