Missing common classes on a KMM project when integrated in an Android App as a Gradle project

I have an existing Android app where I like to integrate a KMM library project as a git submodule. We want to integrate a git submodule on local builds and using a maven repository dependency on CI builds.

To achieve this, I added the directory of the submodule in my settings.gradle via includeBuild and substitute all dependencies of a specific module:

includeBuild('my-kmm-library-project') {
    dependencySubstitution {
        substitute module('com.example.any-kmm-artifact:any') using project(':any')
    }
}

Adding

implementation 'com.example.any-kmm-artifact:any:1.0.0'

to my application build.gradle file allows access to all classes and packages in the android sourceset int the submodule /my-kmm-library-project/any/src/androidMain. But I have no option to import "classes" from the commonMain sourceset. I already tried to let androidMain depend on commonMain.

kmm/build.gradle.kts:

val androidMain by getting {
    dependsOn(commonMain)
    ...

}

This doesn't lead to any success.

I also tried to add a jvm() target on KMM project and let jvmMain depend on androidMain, but this produces compile error, cause the Android SDK classes cannot be resolved.

I think the main problem is that, the classes are just compiled into the aar which can be assembled. But the module is integrated as a gradle project implementation.

Is there a KMM option to compile "common classes" and access them through a gradle module?
