What would be the best practice approach of sending SMS message programatically in Kotlin Multi Platform Compose for both iOS and Android?

first thought would be an expect/actual contract to handle the platform specific dispatching of things

I had the same thought, so far I came up with this, by default the "intent approach":
on android that would be something like
``` Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:12346556");
 Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
 it.putExtra("sms_body", "Here you can set the SMS text to be sent");
 startActivity(it);```
and on iOS:
```MFMessageComposeViewController```
So those would be the equivalent "intent based" approaches.

On Android there is also an option to use `SmsManager`
but that requires `SEND_SMS`  permission

I wouldn't even do expect/actual. That sounds like an interface with two distinct implementations.

Ya that probably makes more sense now that I actually think about it. 

Yeah I like to default to interfaces. Most of the time expect/actual isn't needed.
