# Development for Android
## What is covered
This tutorial covers topic of using Compose Multiplatform for multiplatform build that includes Android
## Intro
3 years ago
Compose Multiplatform build doesn't contain any Android artifacts.
3 years ago
Instead it references Jetpack Compose Android artifacts [published by Google](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose).
3 years ago
This way we ensure that libraries built for Android using Jetpack libraries are compatible with Compose Multiplatform.
## Usage
3 years ago
Jetpack Compose interoperability is enabled on the publication level - nothing needs to be explicitly enabled.

The easiest way to start is to use Kotlin Project Wizard with Compose Multiplatform template - one of the target platform is Android.

To see how it could be achieved see the [multiplatform template](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/templates/multiplatform-template).
## Versioning
3 years ago
Compose Multiplatform `1.0.0` references Jetpack Compose `1.1.0-beta02`. If one wants to use a different version, they could explicitly

override Jetpack Compose dependencies to the Android module (or to the androidMain sourceset in MPP module) like this:

3 years ago
``` kotlin
3 years ago
dependencies {
implementation("androidx.compose.material:material:1.1.0-beta04")
3 years ago
}
```
However please note, that Kotlin Compiler version used for Android must match.

## Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) version
3 years ago
For multiplatform Android modules using AGP `4.1.3` with the block like
3 years ago
``` kotlin
3 years ago
dependencies {
3 years ago
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3")
3 years ago
}
```
is recommended. We're working on providing compatibility with more recent AGP versions, see [KT-49835](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-49835) and

[KT-49789](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-49798). Also if one uses IntelliJ IDEA bundled Android plugin may have compatibility issues with recent AGP.
