Cannot add Ktor Client to Spring Boot Maven project

Question

So I'm trying to add Ktor Client to my Spring Boot Maven project but IntelliJ does not detect the dependencies. Already tried with reimporting maven dependencies, cleaning cache, mvn idea:idea and also creating another Spring Boot Maven project in a different machine and still doesn't work.

This is my pom.xml

And this is what I get in IntelliJ:

Answer 1

I had to add the jvm suffix because it is a multiplatform library and determining appropriate artifacts based on a platform isn’t supported for Maven.

Here’s an example: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.ktor/ktor-client-core-jvm/1.6.7
