For those who didn’t know - You can get the logs on a Compose DMG app by double clicking on

<app folder>/Contents/MacOS/<app name>

file. I’ve found this very useful when debugging issues in a production built application

Developing a KMP Compose library was fun until I realized that Android apps cannot depend on KMP compose libraries without applying

org.jetbrains.compose

plugin. This was unfortunate because I didn't feel right telling developers that they need to apply Desktop Compose plugin for their pure Android app just to use a library. Luckily, this turns out to be just a dependency issue and dependencies are easily replaced in gradle before they are resolved. Adding the following configuration to Android App's

build.gradle

enables the use of KMP Compose dependencies.

configurations.all {
  resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
    if (details.requested.group.contains('org.jetbrains.compose')) {
      def groupName = details.requested.group.replace("org.jetbrains.compose", "androidx.compose")
      details.useTarget(
          [group: groupName, name: details.requested.name, version: details.requested.version]
      )
    }
  }
}

is there a way to get Android studio (Arctic fox) stable to detect jetbrain’s compose

composable? I’ve installed Multiplatform compose plugin

I’m animating the size of a Column using a modifier with

animateContentSize

but the

finishedListener = { a: IntSize , b: IntSize  ->
    println("A $a , B $b")
    println("DONE")
    //       animate = false
}

Seems to get never called - there are no println on the console and breakpoints don’t stop.

I also used a TwenSpec:

val twenSpec = TweenSpec<IntSize>(delay = 1000, durationMillis = 3000 , easing = LinearOutSlowInEasing)

But the durationMillis seems to be ignored, because the size change happens instantly.

When I try to sign and notarise the macOS build I get the error attached below. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Is there a way to automatically refresh the compose preview on desktop

Hi

I'm using the last build, 1.0.0-alpha4-build344

The question about obfuscation and ProGuard was asked here several times, but I do not find a satisfying answer. I build my binary with

packageDmg

/

packageMsi

and I'm looking for a sample how I must modify my

build.gradle.kts

to include a obfuscation step. I don't find an answer to that. I think it would be super nice if the official template would just contain such a step because it's a hard requirement for anybody who ships business software to customers.

I have a onGloballyPosition - Modifier which gives me the width of the Box ( e.g. 1600 ) . Then I set the x-Offset of the box to -800 and the whole box disappears. I do not really understand this. Shouldn’t it be -1600 to make the whole box disappear?

I a negative xOffset for the “RowBackground” I can move the gallery to the left

Can we write & run UI tests with Desktop Compose, similarly to a connected Android test?

can someone help me out with this error?

I can't seem to fix it for the life of me. This is the Video demo example from the compose for desktop tutorial. I'd appreciate any help with this.

Updated https://www.pushing-pixels.org/2021/09/22/skia-shaders-in-compose-desktop.html with notes on performance aspects of writing and chaining shaders

https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko/pull/236 👀

Any Idea what's wrong? What could be causing it?

How do I fix this?

I can't get sources for CFD to show in Intellij. If I ctl+click into

singleWindowApplication

I get the signatures with

/* = compiled code */

Does Compose for Desktop support automated UI testing, or is anyone achieving this with 3rd party tooling?

I find using

StateFlow

and

SharedFlow

very easy to use. I have a project that illustrates the use. https://github.com/open-jumpco/kfsm-mpp-compose-traffic

How do you guys share resources between android and desktop project

I have an android project which contains strings.xml , I would like to share that to my desktop project using kotlin multiplatform and I would like to use it in android module as well , How could I achieve this in a multiplatform module

There should be a plugin that converts strings.xml to integer bindings like R.string.name just like Android and works with android as well !
