I see the official sample apps are using gradle 7.5.1. Anyone using a newer version with no issues? The latest compose-multiplatform repository seems to be on 8.0

With Compose 1.4.0, I am getting mouse move events even if I stop moving my mouse. In the traceback I see

SyntheticEventSender.sendSyntheticMove

. My app is a vector graphics editor and on mouse drag, I am moving points which causes the canvas to redraw - but then it seems mouse move event is now sent on redraw (see screenshot comment), so that creates a loop of redraw-move-redraw... for me.

Is there any realistic chance to build and package a compose desktop macOS DMG for ARM from an Intel machine? I can build all currently supported desktop variants (macOS, Windows and Linux) for Intel via GitHub runners but GitHub still does not support ARM runners. I really do not want to buy an ARM Mac just to be able to build my app for ARM too.

Anyone else getting errors from jetbrains maven?

Can anyone help me here with how to use javaFx library with compose for desktop?

Hello guys, in Signing and notarization for macOS it is mentioned that: _You can include native libraries in the bundle using

fromFiles

(see here) and then you can load them in JVM code using `System.loadLibrary("LIBRARYNAME")`_ In the link (see here) it gives an example to place it like that:

compose.desktop {
    application {
        . . .
        fromFiles(project.fileTree("libs/") { include("**/*.jar") })

I am trying to include some

.dylib

(of course I removed

{ include("**/*.jar") }

part) files for my project but the contents of

libs/

do not seem to be copied to the resulting

.app

image. Any ideas how to get it working?

I noticed a regression in compose-multiplatform 1.4.0 related with scrolls on both x and y axises. I have a modifier with scrollable arguments. In compose version 1.2.2 & 1.3.1 I was able to use my touchbar to scroll in both directions simultaneously, but in 1.4.0 it is not possible anymore - only 1 direction at a time.

.scrollable(
    state = ScrollableState {
            canvasVM.offsetY += it
           it
    },
    orientation = Orientation.Vertical
)
.scrollable(
    state = ScrollableState {
        canvasVM.offsetX += it
        it
    },
    orientation = Orientation.Horizontal
)

In order to quickly edit many form fields you can use the tab key to quickly move from one field to the next. In order to also be able to immediately start typing it would be necessary though that the current content of a text field automatically gets selected as soon as the field gets the focus. Does anybody know how this behaviour could be implemented via compose?

I've got a Compose app that is using multiple JVM targets ("internal", and "production"). I was pretty sure this wouldn't work, but somehow it is. When I call

./gradlew :app:run

compose seems to be targeting the internal variant. I've changed the order, and no matter what it seems to choose the internal variant. Is there a way to choose what variant is run?

hello guys, is it possible to create a MSIX package with the jetpack compose desktop gradle plugin? I used to create a MSI package, and then use the MSIX Package Tool to create a MSIX package from it but recently I started to face an issue when the JVM is not included (or cannot be found) after installing from MSIX and am no longer able to create functional MSIX packages.

is it possible to change the output binary name? it includes the version number in the file name, but I'd like to just output the same filename every time, regardless of the changing version.

In case someone has the same issue as me when working with SelectionContainer + ContextMenu, I've shared a workaround https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/2326#issuecomment-1522451402 I hope it get fixed in the compose-multiplatform lib tho.

Hi everyone! I am a product manager for the Compose team in JetBrains. I would like to chat with those of you who have hands-on experience with Compose Multiplatform, either for personal projects or in production. If you would like to participate in an interview about your experience, please fill out the form. Your input will help us refine our roadmap. Thank you!

anyone here happen to have a github action handy for building the debug build of ios (swift) for CI?

I am seeing some super weird behavior with dragging. I get delays and yanking when I drag vertically, but not when I drag horizontally. I simply use the

onDrag

modifier.

I'm working with SpanStyle right now, and I noticed that the specified background isn't showing for whitespace at the end of the AnnotatedString. It seems to work for a space in the middle of the AnnotatedString, but not at the end (even if there's more spaces after).

Does anybody know what that actually means:

I am sure my tests worked until recently. They are plain unit tests. Not composable function tests. How do you configure tests properly in a compose multiplatform context? Most of the Jetbrains examples don’t seem to configure any tests at all.

Hello everyone. Is this "live edit" feature https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/tooling/iterative-development available for Intellij? I do see something similar in "settings > editor > compose live edit", but it doesn't work as far as I tried.

Hi all, Is it possible to change the mouse cursor within a

ClickableText

? I followed the guidelines to achieve clickable links with the help of annotated strings but the click affordance isn't as it could.

Hi all, How can I use WebView for Compose MultiPlatform Desktop ?

Hi everyone, is anyone aware of a library that can allow us to implement a date range picker especially for Compose Desktop? (even if it is a Swing library)

Hi everyone. I'm stuck with a problem with TextFields for about 5 months, but have not found a solution for now. When I write two letters very fast, the first one is never displayed in the textField. Note that I' have use a viewModel and I'm using a Flow to combine all the sources to create the view state. The code is quite simple (this is an example with a screen with a random int generated every second and a TextField):

data class AppState(val text: String, val number: Int){
    companion object{
        val Empty = AppState("", 0)
    }
}

class AppViewModel(viewModelScope: CoroutineScope) {
    private val randomNumber = flow{
        while(true) {
            emit(Random.nextInt())
            delay(1000)
        }
    }
    private val textField = MutableStateFlow("")

    val state: StateFlow<AppState> = combine(
        textField,
        randomNumber,
        ::AppState,
    ).stateIn(
        scope = viewModelScope,
        started = SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(),
        initialValue = AppState.Empty,
    )

    fun updateText(text: String){
        textField.value = text
    }
}

@Composable
fun App() {
    val viewModelScope = rememberCoroutineScope()
    val viewModel = remember{AppViewModel(viewModelScope)}
    val viewState by viewModel.state.collectAsState(Dispatchers.Main.immediate)
    Column {
        TextField(viewState.text, onValueChange = viewModel::updateText)
        Text(viewState.number.toString())
    }
}

fun main() = application {
    Window(onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication) {
        App()
    }
}

If you play the example and press two letters very (very) fast, the first one is omitted. I think that the issue is described in the following post: https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/effective-state-management-for-textfield-in-compose-d6e5b070fbe5 For short, there is a race condition and before the TextField is modified after the combine, the second letter is pressed, so the onchange does not contain the first letter. I've tried to look in many examples moving in internet, but most of them do not contain textFields. The only example that I've found that can apply is Tivi from @cb . In this line https://github.com/chrisbanes/tivi/blob/dffc1e9036cad936bc78236ce9e017bed21e7e7b/ui/search/src/main/java/app/tivi/home/search/Search.kt#L142 he uses a secondary state to store the textfield Input, and the textfield value is not updated with the main state. This is the only solution? We need to create a separate state for the textfields? As you can see I'm allready using collectAsState(Dispatchers.Main.immediate) that is one of the solutions that I've found in internet, but does not seem to help at all. Thanks!

Hi everyone! 👋 I made a tool based on Kotlin and Compose Desktop to help test deeplinks on Android. You can choose which device and which specific package name to send. Please give it a try! The source code is on GitHub, any suggestions and PR are welcome. Or modified with your own needs. 😃 Here is the link: https://github.com/YuanLiou/IntentSenderDesktop

Hello guys, I am experiencing a very weird crash on my machine. It simply crashes when I close a

androidx.compose.ui.window.DIalog

. I swear it worked fine couple of days before...

fun main() = application {
    Window(onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication) {
        var isOpen by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
        MaterialTheme {
            Button(onClick = {
                isOpen = true
            }) {
                Text("OPEN")
            }
        }

        if (isOpen) {
            Dialog(
                onCloseRequest = {
                    isOpen = false
                },
                title = "test"
            ) {
                Text("DIALOG")
            }
        }

    }
}

This is the code to reproduce it. Has anyone experienced anything similar? The crash happens in java (I have tried different runtimes with the same result):

I used to see dialog related crashes like this on close, but then they went away 🤷‍♂️ maybe some combination of library or language updates it fixed it's self?

Is there a way to run tests with

androidx.compose.ui.test

visible (so that I can see them)? I’m having trouble with something and it would help to be able to see the UI as the test is trying to execute.

Hi, any way to fix this https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1683403201178329

I have a

ClickableText

with a URL string inside the annotated text with a corresponding string annotation. When I click the URL text a browser window is opened with that URL. So my setup is working correctly. My question now is, how can I somehow temporarily highlight the URL text when the user hovers over it with the mouse so that he/she knows that there is something to click on?

Is there a way to allow a Window to be interacted with while a Dialog is showing?
