What it does
Migrates Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) projects to Android Gradle Plugin 9.0+. Handles plugin replacement (com.android.kotlin.multiplatform.library), module splitting, DSL migration, and the new default project structure. Use when upgrading AGP, when build fails due to KMP+AGP incompatibility, or when the user mentions AGP 9.0, android multiplatform plugin, KMP migration, or com.android.kotlin.multiplatform.library.
KMP AGP 9.0 Migration
Android Gradle Plugin 9.0 makes the Android application and library plugins incompatible with the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin in the same module. This skill guides you through the migration.
Step 0: Analyze the Project
Before making any changes, understand the project structure:
- Read
settings.gradle.kts(or.gradle) to find all modules - For each module, read its
build.gradle.ktsto identify which plugins are applied - Check if the project uses a Gradle version catalog (
gradle/libs.versions.toml). If it exists, read it for current AGP/Gradle/Kotlin versions. If not, find versions directly inbuild.gradle.ktsfiles (typically in the rootbuildscript {}orplugins {}block). Adapt all examples in this guide accordingly, version catalog examples usealias(libs.plugins.xxx)while direct usage usesid("plugin.id") version "x.y.z" - Read
gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.propertiesfor the Gradle version - Check
gradle.propertiesfor any existing workarounds (android.enableLegacyVariantApi) - Check for
org.jetbrains.kotlin.androidplugin usage, AGP 9.0 has built-in Kotlin and this plugin must be removed - Check for
org.jetbrains.kotlin.kaptplugin usage, incompatible with built-in Kotlin, must migrate to KSP orcom.android.legacy-kapt - Check for third-party plugins that may be incompatible with AGP 9.0 (see "Plugin Compatibility" section below)
If Bash is available, run scripts/analyze-project.sh from this skill's directory to get a structured summary.
Classify Each Module
For each module, determine its type:
