Hello, does anyone know what I did wrong here? Is this a bug?

Code in thread

```expect abstract class KViewModel() {

    protected open fun onCleared()

}```

Android actual
```actual typealias KViewModel = androidx.lifecycle.ViewModel```

The code inside the android class:
```@SuppressWarnings("WeakerAccess")
protected void onCleared() {

}```

The `typealias` is used with a java class sadly

It works using:
```actual abstract class KViewModel : androidx.lifecycle.ViewModel() {

    actual override fun onCleared() {
        super.onCleared()
    }

}```

It may be because Java and Kotlin `protected` keyword are different. Java = visible for same package and subclasses VS Kotlin = visible for subclasses only.

By overriding the onCleared in the actual (like you did) you make the visibility matches (it's reduced to "visible for subclasses" only)
