Is there a way to get the current size of a screen (width and height) in Compose for a multiplatform approach? So at best for Android, iOS and desktop with one common API that can be used in a shared composable.

You can probably do a top level

BoxWithConstraints(Modifier.fillMaxSize(), propagateMinConstraints = true) {
  val maxHeight = this.maxHeight
  val maxWidth = this.maxWidth
}

And then go from there, implement everything inside that box.
This does introduce one SubcomposeLayout, so it is maybe not optimal, so if someone can come up with a better idea I’m also all ears.

BoxWithConstraints is a good starting point. I had the idea to make it available in the custom AppTheme or hand it down with CompositionLocalProvider. Will try it out. Thanks!
