Release on maven central? about kotlin-libui HOT 8 OPEN

Well sorry I just never published anything on maven central.
Do you know any relatively simple project that can be used as a template for publishing from GitHub CI?

I followed https://dev.to/kotlin/how-to-build-and-publish-a-kotlin-multiplatform-library-going-public-4a8k for my matrix-kt project. (Check the last few commits on the master branch)
It similar to yours as it has bindings. Besides having a lot of files it's fairly simple on the gradle side of things.
Feel free to ping me on Slack (or here I guess) if you have questions and I might be able to answer them 🙂.

I think Jitpack website is a easier way than publishing in the maven central.

You can publish a java/kotlin library in this website by creating a release in github,Why not think about this?

I just absolutely didn't have time last month, sorry.
And hope Kotlin 1.7.20 will be finally released today or next week, and plan to upgrade to it before publishing to maven central.

Hi 👋 I'd like to be able to help with this. I've configured a few Kotlin multiplatform projects, (kxs-ts-gen and ks3) for Maven Central publishing.

There are a few gotchas that can really cause trouble.

1. Maven Central requires a Javadoc jar, even if the publication includes a sources jar. The best workaround is to publish an empty Javadoc jar.
2. Maven Central requires all published artifacts are signed. This can be difficult to set up in Gradle, because the signing plugin hasn't been maintained. Try having a look at the config here for the workaround.
3. Disabling duplicate publications can be difficult (although it seems like you already have config for that).

If you like I can create a PR that re-implements the same logic as in ks3? This will involved some refactoring of the build logic though, by creating Gradle buildSrc convention plugins to make the build logic more modular.

I'd be glad to offer a repo for publishing in the meanwhile, if this helps
