Helps in preventing internal API being published as public API.
Visibility modifiers are required for declarations if the default visibility exposes them to the public API.
This helps ensure that no declarations are exposed to the public API unintentionally.
Explicit type specifications are required for properties and functions that are exposed to the public API.
This guarantees that API users are aware of the types of API members they use.
Using
StrictMode - produces errors if some public API is present without any explicit visibility modifier and thus crashes the build during compilation.References:-
