Pokedex

A Compose Multiplatform Pokédex application targeting Android and Desktop. Used as the reference preset because its layout is the canonical KMP application structure.

Stack

Component Version
AGP 8.5
Gradle wrapper 8.10.2
Kotlin 2.0.21
Compose Compiler plugin applied (mandatory under Kotlin 2.x)
Targets android, desktop, shared (commonMain, androidMain, desktopMain, iosMain)

Catalog highlights

gradle/libs.versions.toml
[versions]
kotlin = "2.0.21"
agp    = "8.5.0"

[plugins]
kotlin-multiplatform = { id = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform", version.ref = "kotlin" }
kotlin-compose       = { id = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose", version.ref = "kotlin" }
android-application  = { id = "com.android.application",            version.ref = "agp" }

Kotlin 2.x requires the Compose Compiler plugin to be applied explicitly in every module that uses Compose:

android/build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.android.application)
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.multiplatform)
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.compose)
}

kotlin {
    jvmToolchain(11)
    androidTarget { … }
}

jvmToolchain(11) lives at the top of the kotlin { … } block — not inside a target. The same applies to shared/build.gradle.kts and desktop/build.gradle.kts.

Android module discovery

The pipeline detects the Android module by trying known names in order: :android, :app, :composeApp, :androidApp, :android-app, :shared:android, :app:android. Pokedex matches :android.

If your module is named differently, add a Gradle alias that matches one of the names the workflow probes (shared, composeApp, androidApp, app, common, kmm-shared, kmpShared), or edit the Detect Android app module step in the reference workflow. See Reference → GitHub Action.

Dependabot biasing

  - package-ecosystem: "gradle"

    schedule:
      interval: "daily"

      - dependency-name: "org.jetbrains.kotlin*"

        update-types: ["version-update:semver-major"]
      - dependency-name: "io.ktor:*"
        update-types: ["version-update:semver-major"]

Major bumps of Kotlin, Compose BOM, AGP and Ktor are blocked because they routinely introduce ABI breaks that prevent the AFTER APK from building. Patch and minor bumps still flow.

Known mapping gap

The analyzer does not currently map io.github.qdsfdhvh to com.seiko.imageloader, so direct files for the image-loader bump are missed in the static phase. The fix is a one-line addition to the Maven → Kotlin map; the dynamic phase is unaffected.
