Kite
Where your projects live, inside kiteConfig { modules { ... } }.
kiteConfig {
modules {
shared = ":shared"
androidApps(":androidApp")
}
}Most builds never open this block. KiteConfig finds the shared KMP project and the Android app by itself, so a standard template repo configures nothing here.
Auto-detection fails closed. When two projects apply Kotlin Multiplatform and a shared-scoped feature such as buildConfig needs one, or two projects are Android applications, the build stops and names the candidates instead of guessing. One line here ends the ambiguity for good.
What each selector controls
| Property | Selects | Detected when you say nothing |
|---|---|---|
| shared | where generated commonMain source lands | the sole project applying Kotlin Multiplatform |
| androidApps | which apps receive identity, versions, and logo output | the sole Android application project |
| desktopApps | which desktop apps receive identity, versions, and installer icons | the sole Compose Desktop application project |
| androidAppDirectory | where launcher resources are written | the selected application's own directory |
| composeResources | where locale discovery reads | the shared project's commonMain/composeResources |
Detection reports rather than guesses. Zero or several candidates fails with the list of what it found and the one line that settles it.
