Hi! I am using DataStore for Kotlin multiplatform. But to handle errors I need to receive java.io.IOException
which is Android dependent. Is there any way to do error handling without depending on Multiplatform?

try {
            dataStore.edit { preferences ->
                preferences[idKey] = value
            }
        } catch (e: IOException) {
            Timber.e(e, "Failed to store $idKey $value")
        }

DataStore defines a androidx.datastore.core.IOException in common which typaliases to java.io.IOException on JVM. So if you're not using multiplatform you should be able to use the java type.

Thanks!!
Why is it recommended to use <http://java.io|java.io>.IOException if not using multiple platforms?
