Is there any public API Kotlin annotation (like [PublicAPI] attribute in JetBrains Annotations .NET library) that would mark a class/method/… as public API and therefore stop showing warnings Property could be private?

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

IIRC there's @PublishedApi

[Chilli]

@Youssef Shoaib [MOD] Yes, but it has a different usage.

[Chilli]

It allows an internal class/member to be used from public inline functions.

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

Yes but I think it then also removes that warning. You can also use a @Suppress that can be auto-generated by the IDE

[Chilli]

Suppress isn't really elegant to be honest, and you can't even use @PublishedApi on public members

I usually don’t suppress “Property could be private” and “Unused …” warnings.

What they actually tell you is that you don’t have unit tests set up, hence they’re unused / could be private ;)

[Marc Knaup]

Otherwise, simply use @Suppress.
