useResource and loadImageBitmap not Multiplatform: not defined for Android target

[sonique6784]

I'm not able to use useResource and loadImageBitmap when targeting Android. I do use these functions on Desktop (Mac), and it works well.

val bitmap = useResource(fileName) { loadImageBitmap(it) }

I believe it is because useResource doesn't exists in the Android API, instead we have painterResource, fontResource...

# build.gradle config common module

 val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                api(composemm.runtime)
                api(composemm.foundation)
                api(composemm.material)
                api(composemm.ui). // org.jetbrains.compose.ui:ui
                api(composemm.desktop.currentOs)
                implementation("org.openrndr:openrndr-math:0.3.47")
            }
        }
        val commonTest by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(kotlin("test"))
            }
        }
        val androidMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                api("androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.4.0")
                api("androidx.core:core-ktx:1.6.0")
                api(ComposeAndroid.ui) // androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.0.0
                api(ComposeAndroid.runtime)
                api(ComposeAndroid.material)
                api(ComposeAndroid.ui)

            }
        }

My thoughts on Roman's answer here: While we are waiting K2, why not to warn users of the useResource function that it works only on desktop? Like it's done with expect/actual if you forget to implement all actuals.
