[Feature request]: MP library without the app module

[Ethan1983]

Thanks for the kit. We had tried developing just the MP library without the app module for different reasons and just have the exported artifact used in respective platform app projects.

We used IntelliJ and it had too many pain points for android target. Imported dependencies would not auto complete and/or show as errors in IDE etc.

Would appreciate if the Kit can also support just a MP library.

Can you say more about what you're looking for here? Is there a need for guidance around how to structure things when they live in multiple repositories? Otherwise I'm not clear on what isn't covered by taking the existing sample and ignoring the app module.

Basically, another IntelliJ project hosting just MP library (without any app module). This project should be workable just with IntelliJ and should not need Android Studio. The build scripts in the project would be setup just to generate artifacts for Android, iOS and other targets (if possible), which would eventually be used by respective app projects in Android Studio, X Code etc.

Rationale: Easy adoption by existing big projects without having to convert the entire Android and iOS projects in a single go.

@Ethan1983 Is this still an issue for you now that IntelliJ has project templates that include KMP libraries with various combinations of targets?

@brady-aiello I guess not, there has been a lot of development since last year.
