Known issues

Desktop

Could not find org.jetbrains.androidx.window:window-core-desktop:1.4.0-alpha07 when using material-adaptive or material3-adaptive-navigation-suite. YouTrack issue. Workaround is to exclude one dependency and include another:

    // if you have material3AdaptiveNavigationSuite dependency
    implementation(compose.material3AdaptiveNavigationSuite) {
        exclude(group = "org.jetbrains.androidx.window")
    }
    // if you have org.jetbrains.compose.material3.adaptive dependency
    implementation("org.jetbrains.compose.material3.adaptive:adaptive:1.2.0-alpha02") {
        exclude(group = "org.jetbrains.androidx.window")

Highlights

Multiple Platforms

Material3 Adaptive libraries org.jetbrains.compose.material3.adaptive:adaptive*:1.1.1. Based on Jetpack Material3 Adaptive 1.1.0

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. Also, due to underlying changes in the compiler plugin, it's better to recompile libraries against the new version. Please let us know if you find any compatibility issues during this migration #1778
Implement multiplatform BackHandler and PredictiveBackHandler. And use them in material3 widgets and androidx-navigation library #1771

iOS

Remove experimental flag from fun enableTraceOSLog() #1652

Breaking Changes

Tests

runOnIdle will now execute action on the UI thread #1601
runOnIdle will no longer call waitForIdle after executing the action #1601
Advancing mainClock such that it doesn't reach the next frame, will no longer cause a recomposition #1618
IdlingResource interface was moved from commonMain to android and desktop source sets. The related experimental methods of ComposeUiTest were moved too. They are not available for Web and iOS anymore. Consider using waitUntil function as an alternative. Note: it's a breaking change only for Web and iOS, but not for Desktop and Android #1822

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 #1550
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 #1550
Multiplatform lifecycle was migrated from a internal core-bundle module to the androidx SavedState. Libraries that use org.jetbrains.androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-savedstate or org.jetbrains.androidx.savedstate:savedstate should migrate to the latest version #1850
A custom implementation for deprecated LocalTextInputService is no longer supported #1974

iOS

Update AccessibilitySyncOptions and remove AccessibilityDebugLogger from public API #1604
Remove obsolete Canvas Layers mode on iOS #1680
Add Composable annotation to the WindowInsets.Companion.waterfall getter to match the expected API #1919

Desktop

Deprecated/experimental Modifier.onExternalDrag has been removed - common Modifier.dragAndDropTarget API should be used instead #1606

Migration Notes

Multiple Platforms

Google Maven now contains some artifacts for all Kotlin targets including Wasm and JS. Compose Multiplatform now depends on those artifacts and user projects might need to add google() repo to repositories {...} block if it is not there yet #1819
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: #2030
```
implementation("org.jetbrains.compose.material:material-icons-core:1.7.3")
```

iOS

LocalUIViewController moved to the androidx.compose.ui.uikit module #1608
ComposeUIViewControllerDelegate marked as deprecated. Use the parent view controller to override the methods of the UIViewController class #1651
Experimental classes CupertinoScrollDecayAnimationSpec and CupertinoOverscrollEffect are removed from public API #1806

Gradle Plugin

Support configurable vertical text centering via LineHeightStyle.Alignment #1569
Support Variable Fonts In All Platforms #1623
Update skia to m132 #1823

Support new haptic feedback types #1831
Support for focusable nodes when Full Keyboard Access is enabled on iOS #1825
Floating cursor support for BasicTextField(TextFieldState) #1598
Add support for Bold Text accessibility setting #1846
Bhojpuri language support for VoiceOver #1838

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:

Correct behavior for composition and accent dialogue scenarios
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

Fix popup safe drawing padding when usePlatformInsets = true #1920
Fix an issue where Compose would retain the old state when its view was reappeared #1921
(prerelease fix) Fix non-interactive UI after interop view tap #1925

Desktop

[Windows] Fixed ordering of SwingPanels when using compose.interop.blending=true #1901
[macOS] Fix, for some cases, the background flashing when closing a window/dialog. This can still happen if an animation is running when the window or dialog is closing #1911
Fix onRenderApiChanged in ComposeWindow and ComposeDialog not working when the renderer changes due to fallback, rather than explicit change #1911
[Swing Interop] Fixed compose.interop.blending=true completely breaking Swing interop on Windows when Direct3D is unsupported. Note that interop blending is still supported on Windows only if Direct3D is available #1913

Dependencies

Gradle Plugin org.jetbrains.compose, version 1.8.0-beta01. Based on Jetpack Compose libraries:
Lifecycle libraries org.jetbrains.androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.9.0-alpha05. Based on Jetpack Lifecycle 2.9.0-alpha12
Navigation libraries org.jetbrains.androidx.navigation:navigation-*:2.9.0-alpha15. Based on Jetpack Navigation 2.9.0-alpha08
Material3 Adaptive libraries org.jetbrains.compose.material3.adaptive:adaptive*:1.1.0-beta01. Based on Jetpack Material3 Adaptive 1.1.0-beta01

Changes since 1.8.0-alpha03

Highlights

Desktop

Improved performance on Windows by replacing the native code compiler to Clang. See details in JetBrains/skiko#1020 (comment) #1863
- DirectX rendering FPS is 17 % higher
- Software rendering FPS is 73 % higher
- Skiko binary size is reduced from 16.7 to 12.1 Mb on x64 and from 17.4 to 10.5 Mb on arm64
- Note that the numbers are measured on one machine and also can differ between Compose 1.7 and Compose 1.8 (will be updated in the stable Release Notes)

Known Issues

iOS

Back gesture may remain stuck in the middle, the fix will be available in the next pre-release version #1861

Breaking Changes

Multiple Platforms

Google Maven now contains some artifacts for all Kotlin targets including Wasm and JS. Compose Multiplatform now depends on those artifacts and user projects might need to add google() repo to repositories {...} block if it is not there yet #1819
Multiplatform lifecycle was migrated from a internal core-bundle module to the androidx SavedState. Libraries that use org.jetbrains.androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-savedstate or org.jetbrains.androidx.savedstate:savedstate should migrate to the latest version #1850
(prerelease fix) Material3 is reverted from Jetpack Compose Material3 1.4.0-alpha07 to 1.3.1 because 1.4.0 Stable will be released only after Compose Multiplatform 1.8.0. As a workaround to continue using the new API, replace:
```
implementation(compose.material3)
```
by:
```
implementation("org.jetbrains.compose.material3:material3:1.8.0-alpha03")
```
Jetpack Compose Material3 1.4.0 will be merged again sometime after the Compose Multiplatform 1.8.0 release #1868
