Using Clerk in Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP)

Question

I'm trying to implement Clerk authentication in my Android Kotlin Multiplatform project following the official Clerk Android Quickstart Guide, but the SDK artifact referenced in the documentation doesn't appear to exist in any Maven repository.

What I'm trying to do:

Add the Clerk Android SDK to my project as shown in the quick start guide:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation("com.clerk:clerk-android:<latest-version>")
    implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose:2.9.2")
    ...
}

I've attempted multiple artifact coordinates and versions:

com.clerk:clerk-android:1.6.0 (from documentation)
com.clerk:clerk-android:0.1.14
com.clerk.clerk-android:core:1.1.4
io.clerk:core:0.1.14
io.clerk.android:core:0.1.14

I've also tried adding custom repositories. None of these work - the artifact simply doesn't exist in any public Maven repository

My Environment

Gradle: 8.14.3
Kotlin: 2.2.20
Android Gradle Plugin: 8.10.1
Compose Multiplatform: 1.9.0
min Sdk: 24
Java/JVM Target: 17

Questions Is the Clerk Android SDK actually published to Maven Central or another repository? What are the correct Maven coordinates for the Clerk Android SDK? Is there an alternative installation method (e.g., manual .aar download)? Is the quick start guide documentation referencing an unreleased version? The documentation clearly shows this dependency exists and provides code examples using it, but I cannot find this artifact anywhere. Has anyone successfully integrated Clerk into an Android project?
