Breaking changes

Common

  • Resource library (compose.components.resources) changes
    • resources from *Main\resources should be moved to *Main\composeResources\drawable, commonMain\composeResources\font or *Main\composeResources\files depending on the resource type
    • painterResource("resource.xml") should be replaced by painterResource(Res.drawable.resource)
  • google() maven repository is now required. Add this to build.gradle.kts:
    repositories {
        ...
        google()
    }
    
    If the project doesn't have it, there will be an error Could not find androidx.annotation:annotation:... or Could not find org.jetbrains.compose.collection-internal:collection.
  • Text with lineHeight set is trimmed by default
  • Text with fontSize set without lineHeight inside MaterialTheme has different line height

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

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. Projects which apply Compose Compiler plugin manually need to remove this argument: plugin:androidx.compose.compiler.plugins.kotlin:generateDecoys=true.

Breaking changes

since 1.6.0-beta01

  • When the resource library is used, resources should be imported explicitly

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.

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()
}

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 {  }
    }
}
