Hi all! Does the *.api files generated in a multiplatform project show all the public APIs of the library?

[Didier Villevalois]

Asked another way: If I can't find a symbol in the *.api files then it means that symbol is not part of the public API, right?

If you're talking about https://github.com/Kotlin/binary-compatibility-validator, yes, that's the goal

[mbonnin]

The library maintainer might have deliberately hidden some symbols from this list so it is possible that you can use symbols not included in *.api . But it's highly unrecommended

@mbonnin Thanks a lot for the link and your answer. That completely answer my question!
