getPackageInfo(String, Int) was deprecated in Tiramisu, and the deprecation warning suggests using the 33+ function getPackageInfo(String, PackageInfoFlags) in its place.

This has motivated the introduction of a compatibility function in our codebase (source):

@Suppress("DEPRECATION")
fun Context.getPackageInfo(): PackageInfo {
    return if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU) {
        packageManager.getPackageInfo(packageName, PackageManager.PackageInfoFlags.of(0))
    } else {
        packageManager.getPackageInfo(packageName, 0)
    }
}

Request: It would be nice if androidx.core.content.PackageManagerCompat included an extension function that encapsulated this same version check.

com.google.android.gms.instantapps.PackageManagerCompat appears to offer the function I'm requesting but it feels weird to have to depend on a Play Services artifact to obtain this compatibility function...
