Do you guys know any best practices about calling android methods that are annotated with @RequiresPermission when developing a Multiplatform SDK?
Normally i would say that handling the permissions is an App issue, not an SDK issue, so i would also annotate my own methods with the same @RequiresPermission annotation, but they are Android-only, so you can’t annotate common methods.

while creating expect/actual versions of all the methods is possible, it seams a lot of work

commonMain

@OptionalExpectation
expect annotation class RequiresPermission(
    val value: String,
    val allOf: Array<String>,
    val anyOf: Array<String>,
    val conditional: Boolean,
)

androidMain

actual typealias RequiresPermission = androidx.annotation.RequiresPermission

will allow you to use @RequiresPermission in common code

sucks that the default values for the parameters can not be set without a compiler error, but otherwise quite handy
