No Access to DropDownMenu or AlertDialog in common source set

[ScottPierce]

We currently can't access the DropDownMenu or AlertDialog from the common source set for compose. Someone mentioned this was because of PopupProperties.

For DropDownMenu we can create a common function in commonMain:

fun DropdownMenu(
    expanded: Boolean,
    onDismissRequest: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    offset: DpOffset = DpOffset(0.dp, 0.dp),
    content: @Composable ColumnScope.() -> Unit
)

@igordmn could you do the same for AlertDialog? it will help in my situation too (at least for AlertDialog), see #758

What is blocking you from adding DropdownMenu as an expect declaration?

Is there some milestone for this issue??
Access AlertDialog and DropDownMenu from common sources set sounds great.

compose-android // compose-ios // compose-desktop // compose-web

I don't expect that to happen, because Jetpack Compose API is not designed to be cross platform here. It should be Google who should fix the issue.

So far I have built a workaround package a while ago, to the rescue: https://github.com/atsushieno/compose-mpp
