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

dependencies {

}

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)
