Hello!

We started using multik in production for matrix .dot and .inv methods.
It's working smoothly for some Android users, but we noticed lots of crashes happening in production for others:

Caused by java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fail to find engine. Consider to add one of the following dependencies: - multik-default - multik-kotlin - multik-openblas at org.jetbrains.kotlinx.multik.api.EngineKt.enginesProvider(Engine.kt:13) at org.jetbrains.kotlinx.multik.api.Engine.<clinit>(Engine.kt:68) at org.jetbrains.kotlinx.multik.api.Multik.getLinalg(Multik.kt:49) at org.jetbrains.kotlinx.multik.api.linalg._linalgKt.dotDefMMNumber(_linalg.kt:21) ... 

We're simply using these two dependencies in our KMM module, which we then include as JAR in our Android project:

commonMain { dependencies { implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:multik-core:0.2.0") implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:multik-kotlin:0.2.0") } }

The line in multik where the service is loaded is this one:
https://github.com/Kotlin/multik/blob/master/multik-core/src/jvmMain/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/multik/api/Engine.kt#L9

This is calling ServiceLoader.load(Engine::class.java).toList(), which uses The Java ServiceLoader.

The class that should be loaded here is KEEngine, which is referenced in the META-INF/services folder here:
https://github.com/Kotlin/multik/blob/master/multik-kotlin/src/jvmMain/resources/META-INF/services/org.jetbrains.kotlinx.multik.api.Engine

What's weird about this is that it either should or should not work. But for our affected users, the app crashes one time - and after that it seems to work fine. At first I thought that the class is optimized away by R8 - but that wouldn't explain why it works some of the times.

Does anyone else have this issue?
