Kotlin variant of my JVM library cannot be resolved from Maven

My OSS Java library has a -kt (Kotlin extension functions) variant module. When I publish to Maven, there are no build errors and it creates the artifacts I would expect.

I published this to Maven Central before discovering the issue. Is still occurs when publishing to Maven local.

The issue is that in projects that try to use the library as a dependency, Maven has the error that it cannot be resolved. If I use the non-kt version of the library as a dependency, it’s fine. I have verified in my local Maven directory that the artifact exists.

I’m at a complete loss. If the artifact exists and the error says it cannot be resolved, I am guessing the actual problem is manifesting as a different error. I’m not sure where to begin looking for what the actual issue might be. Am I missing some configuration for the Kotlin module for it to function as a Maven library?

// Resolves:
implementation "com.cyphercove.gdxtween:gdxtween:0.1.7"

// Doesn't resolve:
implementation "com.cyphercove.gdxtween:gdxtween-kt:0.1.7"

Here’s are my Gradle configurations for the project and the -kt module, respectively:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'java-library'
    id 'maven-publish'
    id 'signing'

    librarySubProjects = subprojects.findAll{
        it.name == 'gdxtween' || it.name == 'gdxtween-kt'
    }
}

    apply plugin: "idea"
    apply plugin: "java"
