Development for Android

What is covered

This tutorial covers topic of using Compose Multiplatform for multiplatform build that includes Android

Intro

Compose Multiplatform doesn't contain any Android artifacts. Instead it references Jetpack Compose Android artifacts published by Google.

Usage

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.

Another option is to take multiplatform template

Versioning

Compose Multiplatform 1.0.0 references Jetpack Compose 1.1.0-beta02. If you want to use higher version, you could explicitly add Jetpack Compose dependencies to the Android module like this

configurations.all {
   resolutionStrategy {
       force("androidx.compose.animation:animation:1.1.0-beta03")
   }
}

However please note, that Kotlin Compiler version used for Android must match.
