Unable to add kotlinx-coroutines-reactor to commonMain in KMM

So I'm trying to use kotlinx-coroutines-reactor to try out the Flux pattern in my KMM project.

I've tried versions 1.6.4 and 1.6.3-native-mt but can only use flows, for some reason Flux isn't available. I can't import it, and when I try and manually import it, it says unresolved reference.

It looks like the package is pure kotlin, so I'm not sure why it can't be imported. If I put the dependencies under androidMain I can use it, but not under commonMain where I'd like to keep things common.

I want to place it under common to have my list of side effects be shared between platforms.

Project reactor is not compatible with android or any other mobile platform, it is a java/jvm project.

Therefore, the compatibility layer provided between Project Reactor and Kotlin coroutines is also only available in Kotlin JVM based projects. If you take a look at the kotlinx-coroutine-reactor build file you will see that it only defines configuration for jvm target.

I have not very much experience with multiplatform mobile projects, but I'd say that Kotlin coroutine Flow API is the way to deal with datastream. Now, with a little search, maybe you can find a pure Kotlin multiplatform Rx Kotlin library to replace Reactor, if you really need to.
