PublishedApi
@Target([AnnotationTarget.CLASS, AnnotationTarget.CONSTRUCTOR, AnnotationTarget.FUNCTION, AnnotationTarget.PROPERTY]) annotation class PublishedApi(Common source) (Native source)
When applied to a class or a member with internal visibility allows to use it from public inline functions and makes it effectively public.
Public inline functions cannot use non-public API, since if they are inlined, those non-public API references would violate access restrictions at a call site (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/inline-functions.html#public-inline-restrictions).
To overcome this restriction an internal declaration can be annotated with the @PublishedApi annotation:
- this allows to call that declaration from public inline functions;
- the declaration becomes effectively public, and this should be considered with respect to binary compatibility maintaining.
