i’ve been testing the new release of our desktop application and several of my coworkers and i are seeing this error, what could be causing it?

On Windows, how do I set the application to start when the user logs in, or unset it when it runs

Hello! Is there already existing support for copy/paste in TextField using keyboard? If yes, how to enable it?

Hi . i would love to print docket from Kmm desktop over wifi or bluetooth printer. if anyone has any pointer or resources . i would greatly appreciate

huh, so I've got a

Dialog

that i've set the size to Unspecified

rememberDialogState(size = DpSize.Unspecified)

But now some, but not all, of my dialogs are throwing

IllegalStateException: DpSize is unspecified

Even if I give the internal views a definite size, something like

Box(modifier = Modifier.size(200.dp).padding(Ui.Padding.XL)) {

What are the security concerns I'd need to take into consideration if I were to use something like JCL or a custom class loader, to dynamically load classes into my Compose Desktop application? My goal is to be able to download my jars dynamically, unload my application's old classes (by ditching the old class loader I assume), and load in my new classes dynamically effectively updating my application without closing the process.

Hi, I am new to compose and am creating a multiwindow/multidocument app, and I notice that when I remove a window with the current construct I am using, wrong windows get closed. How can I make sure the right window with state gets closed? I have all the state within the App component with remember statements. Or should I move up all window/app state to the application level and remove it from within the components to ensure the window uses the right state? I expected that I could maybe pass an id or something to the Window so it would all work correctly. Am I making wrong assumptions here, is this a bug, or am I missing something? Thanks!!

@OptIn(ExperimentalComposeUiApi::class)
fun main() = application {
    val windows = rememberSaveable { mutableStateOf(listOf(0)) }
    val newWindowId = rememberSaveable { mutableStateOf(1) }

    fun onClose(windowId: Int) {
        if (windows.value.isEmpty()) {
            exitApplication()
        }
        windows.value = windows.value.filter { it != windowId }
    }

    windows.value.map { windowId ->
        Window(onCloseRequest = { onClose(windowId) }, title = "Window") {
            MenuBar {
                Menu("File", mnemonic = 'F') {
                    Item(
                        "New Window",
                        onClick = {
                            windows.value = windows.value + newWindowId.value
                            newWindowId.value += 1
                        },
                        shortcut = KeyShortcut(Key.N, meta = true, alt = true)
                    )
                }
            }
            App()
        }
    }
}

Does anyone have experience with setting

skiko.directx.gpu.priority

to

discrete

? Will it fall back to

integrated

if no dedicated graphics card is available? I wonder why the

auto

setting prefers the integrated card. A user of my app has a notebook with Intel HD graphics and an extra NVIDIA card, which of course has more power. It's strange that this is not used by default. Will setting it to

discrete

break my app for all users without dedicated graphics card?

Is there a way to request the name of the currently used graphics device? I want to show that in my about screen.

Just to make sure I understand- things like

androidx.compose.foundation:foundation:1.4.0-rc01

are only android libraries and cannot be used in MPP? Is there anyway to determine whether an artifact being used as a dependency only targets a single platform?

Hey, is it possible to create an Intel/x64 MacOS app on M1/ARM machines? There's a proposal to upgrade all our CI machines to M1/ARM. However, I'd need to support x86 for a while, which is why I'm asking.

Is Material Design 3 available for compose for desktop? I added the dependency to my build.gradle.kts and had a successful sync, but still get components from M2 instead of M3

We published a new tutorial on how to deploy Kotlin desktop apps that use JCEF to embed Chromium. It uses Conveyor to cross-build self-updating fully signed/notarized packages for every OS, with Chromium bundled into the app. It's easy! If you ever wanted an "Electron for Kotlin" then this is it. You can also combine it with Swing UI and there's experimental support for Compose Multiplatform too. https://hydraulic.software/blog/13-deploying-apps-with-jcef.html Posted in #feed

Hi, I'm trying

./gradlew package

but facing an issue. Check the Logs inside the thread.

Trying to fix the

Error occurred during initialization of VM

that now happens for me in new the builds, I've tried to add the entitlements file: entitlements.plist

  entitlementsFile.set(project.file("entitlements.plist"))
  signing {

the build now fails with an error

. I'm using Kotlin 1.8.10 and Compose 1.3.1 +

./gradlew :desktop:packageDmg :desktop:notarizeDmg

to compile it.

What version of Compose for Desktop are folks using with Kotlin 1.8.20-RC?

are there any solutions for producing self contained distributions, snaps/flatpack/msix?

@Igor Demin - how frequently does https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core get synced with the main AndroidX repository? For example, this change from January 6th this year is still not in the latest

1.4.0-alpha01-dev980

build of compose-multiplatform.

Hey guys, I am trying to sign a desktop-compose app for distribution to Mac AppStore, with testflight configured: I followed this tutorial. And I managed to get my .pkg verified successfully via the Transporter app (first pic). But if i try to install that .pkg, it succeeds but nothing is installed. Is it normal? Also if I try to run the .app file from the /build/compose/binaries/main/app directory it crashes with Code Signature Invalid (second pic) Is it normal? I described the exact steps I performed in this doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vR8ZLuLSK06ZypiS3yqXzIttDqqQzOCAoxe0X_-kO3UV0pcc2EUL5qI82jk6jxnrh8y7aVOnsIBVnI9/pub

Hi ! I'm creating a simple ChessClock in a Compose for Desktop application. But it seems I'm facing a strange issue, which should be really related to my coding anti-patterns I guess. More in the thread 🧵 .

Is there a way to "query" current pointer (cursor) position? For example: user clicks, I query and do some stuff depending on where the cursor is. I know I can constantly track it using

Modifier.onPointerEvent

and save it to mutableStateOf, but that sounds like a bit of an overkill for cases when I want to only react on clicks.

I would like to use Firebase in my Jetpack Compose for Desktop project : so is fine to create an Android application from the Firebase console in order to use it ? Or should I create a Web application ?

Out of curiosity: why the Compose Multiplatform plugin generates a new project with the Multiplatform module called “common” but Kotlin Mobile plugin generates it named “shared”? Is there any distinction between these two, or just naming?

Hi team, i'm trying out to make a desktop app but I need a database with in it? could someone tell if this is even possible?
