Meaning of annotation RequiresApi for block statement

[KvanTTT]

Hi! I'm Kotlin compiler developer and now I'm working on the new version of compiler (K2). One part of my work is testing user projects. I found your project and encountered the failing on the following code (@RequiresApi annotation is not applicable to block statement):

shadowsocks-android/core/src/main/java/com/github/shadowsocks/Core.kt

Lines 155 to 166 in 3d09ab4

	if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 26) @RequiresApi(26) {
	notification.createNotificationChannels(listOf(
	NotificationChannel("service-vpn", app.getText(R.string.service_vpn),
	if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 28) NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MIN
	else NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW), // #1355
	NotificationChannel("service-proxy", app.getText(R.string.service_proxy),
	NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW),
	NotificationChannel("service-transproxy", app.getText(R.string.service_transproxy),
	NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW),
	SubscriptionService.notificationChannel))
	notification.deleteNotificationChannel("service-nat") // NAT mode is gone for good
	}

Could you elaborate what did you mean by placing the annotation to the block? It looks like it has no effect and it's a bug in the old version of compiler (K1) since annotation for block is not allowed even by grammar: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/grammar.html#block

This is for muting an error in Android Studio. It seems IntelliJ parses Kotlin differently from the compiler.

Could you describe this error in Anroid Studio?

Honestly I don't remember. Now that I look at it, this is probably unnecessary.
