Is there a way to add platform specific annotations? may sth like expect/actual but for annotation level?

What I'm trying to achieve is to annotate a field that I have in commonMain with @Published in iosMain.
any idea?

[Arkadii Ivanov]

expect/actual annotations are possible. Are there any issues?

[Shervin]

hm
They also work for 'annotations' ?

[ephemient]

there's even @OptionalExpectation to allow an annotation to have no actual implementation on some platforms

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Please keep in mind the @OptionalExpectation may lead to weird compile errors if only android and jvm targets are supported.

Thanks Daniel
didn't know about that!
I'm going to try that tonight

Thanks Arkadi, I think in my case will be alright since I'm targeting iOS and Android
