1.8.0-rc01 (April 2025)

Changes since 1.8.0-beta02

Highlights

Web

• Improves text input support in Safari on mobile and desktop #1941
• Correct certain text input scenarios on Web targets #1941 New WebTextInputService seeks to achieve the following goals:

1. Add support to Safari (which happens to have its own flow of input events that are inconsistent with other browsers)
2. Correct behavior for composition and accent dialogue scenarios
3. Introduce some changes that we will use for improving accessibility

Breaking Changes

Multiple Platforms

• A custom implementation for deprecated LocalTextInputService is no longer supported #1974

Migration Notes

Multiple Platforms

• material/material3 libraries no longer add a dependency to material-icons-core so if your project relied on that, you will have to explicitly add that dependency in your build.gradle[.kts] files: #2025, #2030

implementation("org.jetbrains.compose.material:material-icons-core:1.7.3")

Gradle Plugin

• The Compose Gradle Plugin requires Kotlin Gradle Plugin 2.+ version now. Old org.jetbrains.compose.compiler is not supported anymore and the API to configure it was removed #5293

Lifecycle

• (prerelease fix) Remove deprecated AbstractSavedStateViewModelFactory from common code #1976

Features

Desktop

• The default ProGuard version is set to 7.7.0 #5279
  • If there are any new errors in the release build, update the ProGuard rules
  • A usual workaround is to add -keep class for the associated with error class in "Location:"

1.8.0-alpha04 (March 2025)

Changes since 1.8.0-alpha03

Highlights

Desktop

• Improved performance on Windows by replacing the native code compiler to Clang. See details in https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko/pull/1020#issuecomment-2649433785 #1863
  • DirectX rendering FPS is 17 % higher

Changes since 1.8.0-alpha02

Highlights

Multiple Platforms

• Compose Multiplatform codebase is fully migrated to K2. Please note that native and web klibs can be consumed only with Kotlin 2.1.0 or newer.

Breaking Changes

Multiple Platforms

• IdlingResource interface was moved from commonMain to android and desktop source sets. The related experimental methods of ComposeUiTest were moved too.

1.8.0-alpha01 (November 2024)

Changes since 1.7.1

Highlights

iOS

• LocalUIViewController moved to the androidx.compose.ui.uikit module
• Update AccessibilitySyncOptions and remove AccessibilityDebugLogger from public API
• ComposeUIViewControllerDelegate marked as deprecated. Use parent view controller to override the methods of the UIViewController class
• Remove experimental flag from fun enableTraceOSLog()
• Remove obsolete Canvas Layers mode on iOS

Breaking Changes

Multiple Platforms

• Tests that relied on waitForIdle, awaitIdle or runOnIdle (whether explicit or implicit) executing delay-ed coroutines will no longer work correctly. To fix this advance the test time via mainClock manually, as needed For example, tests that previously did something like:

  var updateText by mutableStateOf(false)
  var text by mutableStateOf("0")
  setContent {
      LaunchedEffect(updateText) {
          if (updateText) {
              delay(1000)
              text = "1"
          }
      }
  }
  updateText = true
  waitForIdle()
  assertEquals("1", text)
  

  will need to add mainClock.advanceTimeBy(1000) after waitForIdle(), because waitForIdle no longer waits for the delay-ed coroutine to complete
• Tests that advance the test clock (via mainClock.advanceTimeBy) may see different behavior with regards to the amount and timing of recomposition, layout, drawing and effects
• runOnIdle will now execute action on the UI thread
• runOnIdle will no longer call waitForIdle after executing the action
• Advancing mainClock such that it doesn't reach the next frame, will no longer cause a recomposition

Desktop

• Deprecated/experimental Modifier.onExternalDrag has been removed - common Modifier.dragAndDropTarget API should be used instead

Features

Multiple Platforms

• Support configurable vertical text centering via LineHeightStyle.Alignment
• Support Variable Fonts In All Platforms

iOS

• Add localised string for VoiceOver accessibility support
• Support state announcements for scrollable lists in VoiceOver
• Support for accessibility gestures for left-to-right languages

Desktop

• Commonize navController.navigate(Uri) method
• Implemented non-android navController.handleDeepLink(NavDeepLinkRequest) method
• New API to configure browser navigation buttons and the address line
• Navigation via a browser address field

Fixes

Multiple Platforms

• waitForIdle, awaitIdle and runOnIdle no longer consider Compose to be non-idle when coroutines launched in a composition scope call delay. This prevents tests with an infinite loop with delay in a LaunchedEffect from hanging
• Tests that advance the test clock (via mainClock.advanceTimeBy) will now correctly (re)compose/layout/draw/effects each virtual frame as needed
• runOnIdle will now execute action on the UI thread, as Android behaves
• runOnIdle will no longer call waitForIdle after executing the action, as Android behaves
• The overhead for running an empty test has been significantly reduced

iOS

• Separate platform views for Popups/Dialogs that are enabled by default, unable to draw anything out of their own bounds (for example, a shadow of the topmost container). It will be fixed in a future version, but if you're relying on this behavior, you can switch back to the old behavior by setting the platformLayers parameter to false:

  ComposeUIViewController(configure = {
      platformLayers = false
  }) {
      // ...
  }
  

Desktop

• Remove deprecated APIs in TooltipArea and PointerEvent

Web (k/js)

• Libraries which depend on earlier Compose Multiplatform version are not compatible with 1.6.0 anymore. This is because decoys generation was disabled.

To quickly change your code to a new state, replace this:

import <modulePackage>.generated.resources.Res

by this:

import <modulePackage>.generated.resources.*

and perform "Code - Optimize Imports" to apply the project code style. If code style doesn't allow wildcrads, import <modulePackage>.generated.resources.* will be replaced by explicit imports.

1.6.0-rc01 (February 2024)

Changes since 1.6.0-beta02

Known issues and solutions

Could not find "org.jetbrains.compose.annotation-internal:annotation"

(or org.jetbrains.compose.collection-internal:collection), link

It happens because some library depends on 1.6.0-beta02 which isn't binary compatible with 1.6.0-rc01. To find this library, call ./gradlew shared:dependencies (replace shared by your main module). Downgrade this library or ask the library author to upgrade it to 1.6.0-rc01.

Could not find androidx.annotation:annotation:...

(or org.jetbrains.compose.collection-internal:collection)

It happens because 1.6.0 depends on collection and annnotation libraries that are available only in the Google Maven repository.

To solve this, add google() maven repository to build.gradle.kts:

repositories {
    ...
    google()
}

Desktop

Fixes

API changes

• Compose doesn't depend on kotlinx-coroutines-swing

If you use Dispatchers.Swing or Dispatchers.Main in your code, add this dependency into build.gradle.kts:

dependencies {
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-swing:$coroutinesVersion")
}

Also, usage of Dispatchers.Swing or Dispatchers.Main inside internals of Compose is implementation details, and can be changed in the future. If you need to avoid race conditions with Compose UI, you can obtain appropriate coroutine scope via rememberCoroutineScope:

import androidx.compose.runtime.DisposableEffect
import androidx.compose.runtime.remember
import androidx.compose.runtime.rememberCoroutineScope
import androidx.compose.ui.ExperimentalComposeUiApi
import androidx.compose.ui.window.application

@OptIn(ExperimentalComposeUiApi::class, androidx.compose.foundation.ExperimentalFoundationApi::class)
fun main() = application {
    val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
    val someApplicationObject = remember(scope) { SomeApplicationObject(scope) }
    
    DisposableEffect(Unit) {
        SomeGlobalObject.init(scope)
        onDispose {  }
    }
}

API changes

• The first frame of the window draws offscreen now. If your application has too long start, measure your first frame, and move the heavy logic to background or to the next frames. You can measure the first frame with this snippet:

import androidx.compose.runtime.getValue
import androidx.compose.runtime.mutableStateOf
import androidx.compose.runtime.setValue
import androidx.compose.ui.window.singleWindowApplication

private var time by mutableStateOf(System.nanoTime())
private var frame by mutableStateOf(0)

fun main() = singleWindowApplication {
    if (frame == 0) {
        frame++
    } else if (frame == 1) {
        val duration = ((System.nanoTime() - time) / 1E6).toLong()
        println("First frame millis: $duration")
    }
}

• PointerEvent.awtEvent, KeyEvent.awtEvent are deprecated, use PointerEvent.awtEventOrNull, KeyEvent.awtEventOrNull instead. The event can be null, if it isn't sent by AWT (for example, Compose can send synthetic Move events on relayout)
