[!IMPORTANT] Upgrading from 0.2.x? Maven coordinates changed in v1.0.0 — see the migration guide.

• 🔄 Kotlin Multiplatform — Full Android + iOS support
• 🏷️ Automatic tag detection — No more manual TAG constants
• 🎯 Trainer system — Flexible, extensible output destinations
• 🧪 Smart test detection — Different output for tests vs. production

// build.gradle.kts
kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation("com.ivangarzab.bark:bark:<version>")
        }
    }
}

// Train once at app startup
Bark.train(AndroidLogTrainer())

// Log anywhere — tag is detected automatically
Bark.d("App started")               // [MainActivity]
Bark.e("Something failed", error)   // [PaymentService]
