Component used: Wear-Watchface

Version used: 1.2.0-alpha08 or higher

After upgrading to Wear Watchface 1.2.0-alpha08 or higher, I noticed an error in Android Studio on both the WatchFaceType and CanvasType integers that they should only be used within the androidx.wear.watchface library:

Companion.DIGITAL can only be accessed from within the same library
(androidx.wear.watchface:watchface)

It appears this is an unintended side effect of this CL that marked those annotation classes as @RestrictTo(RestrictTo.Scope.LIBRARY).

Would it be possible to separate the constants (which really could just be on a regular Kotlin object, rather than as part of a companion object of a restricted class) from the restricted annotation class (which it doesn't matter what the class name of that annotation actually is)?

It is really annoying to have the red underlines in Android Studio and associated lint failures.

FWIW, I noticed that this does not apply to constants such as WatchFaceStyle.PROTECT_STATUS_BAR, but only to constants within a public annotation class that is restricted.

From this search, it appears this issue affects:

all WatchFaceType constants
all CanvasType constants
all TapType constants
all ComplicationsSlotBoundsType constants
