# compose

Hi
can anyone assist with my SO question please?

[Michael Paus]

This is because Kotlin 1.8.21 is not yet officially supported. You could add this to all your build.gradle.kts files:

// TODO: Remove once a compiler with support for >=1.8.21 is available
compose {
    kotlinCompilerPlugin.set(dependencies.compiler.forKotlin("1.8.20"))
    kotlinCompilerPluginArgs.add("suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck=1.8.21")
}

This switches off the test and it works for me so far.

@Michael Paus from the compatibility page for compose i thought it stated 1.4.7 supported 1.8.21
what i am confused about is the gradle build error mentions compose 1.4.5 when i have set 1.4.7
how do i identify what dependency is using 1.4.5 instead of what i have set as 1.4.7?

Are you using Jetpack Compose directly, or Compose multiplatform?

[Tower Guidev2]

i am using jetpack compose directly

[Landry Norris]

Are you using the BOM?

[Tower Guidev2]

No i am not using the bom

when i set my compose version to 1.4.6. the build error mentions 1.4.6,

e: This version (1.4.6) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version

however when i increase to 1.4.7 the build error mentions 1.4.5

e: This version (1.4.5) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version

this makes me feel like there is an issue with supporting 1.4.7

is there something "special" I need to do to use compose 1.4.7?
