Kotlin Native without dependencies: Stdlib not found

[hfhbd]

I know this is a very very rare case, so feel free to close it if you don't see a useful use-case.

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform") version "1.7.10"
    id("app.cash.licensee") version "1.5.0"
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

kotlin {
    linuxX64()
    macosArm64()
}

licensee {
    allow("Apache-2.0")
}

The artifact.json file is empty, so the licensee task succeeds:

[
]

But the default std lib is missing, so the warning Allowed SPDX identifier 'Apache-2.0' is unused is printed. Using the jvm works as expected:

This is working as expected, although it's not very intuitive. There are no published artifacts for the Kotlin stdlib for native targets (see https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.jetbrains.kotlin%20kotlin-stdlib). Instead, the Kotlin/Native compiler is responsible for injecting the stdlib directly. You could file a feature request on Kotlin for publishing empty artifacts so that tools like this one and others which validate aspects of the dependency graph still mostly work, but I don't want to specifically special-case this setup.

Thanks for the explanation. I don't expect a special handling in this tool but would like to see uploaded empty artifacts to have the possibility to analyze the dependencies for Kotlin native too, with other tools too. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-53185/Kotlin-Native-Publish-empty-artifacts-and-pom-information
