In multiplatform projects, :shared:exportLibraryDefinitions exports all platform instead of only shared libraries

[coletz]

I'm working on a multiplatform app (android + iOS) with a common kotlin module (shared) and two different apps (androidApp in kotlin and iosApp in swift), so I'm not using multiplatform Compose.

On the android side everything works fine (I am applying the plugin straight into the android app), so only shared + androidApp libraries are included;

On the iOS side I cannot apply the plugin, since it is a swift application and has no gradle config, so I was thinking about listing the libraries used in the shared module, then adding the ios libraries "manually".
The problem with this approach is that if I run "gradle :shared:exportLibraryDefinitions" I get a list of dependencies including everything, even the android libs defined in the androidApp module.

Am I approaching this in the wrong way? Or this (exporting only shared libs) is something not supported?

Thanks and sorry if I've misunderstood something

Thank you for the report.

Please have a look here in the README: https://github.com/mikepenz/AboutLibraries?tab=readme-ov-file#generate-dependency-information

More specifically you can pass the variant for the file to export:

# Filter exported definition by variant by passing `-PaboutLibraries.exportVariant==<VARIANT>`
./gradlew :app-wasm:exportLibraryDefinitions -PaboutLibraries.exportPath=src/main/resources/ -PaboutLibraries.exportVariant=wasmJs
./gradlew :app-wasm:exportLibraryDefinitions -PaboutLibraries.exportPath=src/main/resources/ -PaboutLibraries.exportVariant=jvm
