Looking at this issue that is a fix for not being able to run Compose desktop apps from inside IntelliJ (editor gutter or run configurations dropdown).

What does “A Kotlin Gradle Plugin 1.9.0-RC or higher is required” mean? That we need to wait until Kotlin 1.9.0 is out, and then wait until core Compose “catches up” with Kotlin 1.9.0, and then wait until Compose Multiplatform catches up with core Compose? That can be months?

Sorry I am on vacation so my answer will be sparse. The proper fix will require support in newer KGP versions. However in the ticket should iirc be described how to opt out the new dependency resolution and restore the old behavior. Also Kotlin 1.8.10 is supposed to work as well. Please talk to the compose team as well as your project team to figure out which option fits your needs best.

I don’t have a project team. Registering a task as proposed in the “Immediate solutions” does not work

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Have you considered staying on 1.8.10 until 1.9 works for you?

Second option: find the Gradle property that disables new res

cc @stanislav.erokhin (maybe you could quickly post the property here?)

Here is the issue (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-25644) and here is the property that could help you (as temporary workaround):

kotlin.mpp.import.enableKgpDependencyResolution=false

But since 1.9.0-RC this bug should be fixed

[stanislav.erokhin]

And basically you will be able to remove this line

kotlin.mpp.import.enableKgpDependencyResolution=false

Once compose MPP cath up with 1.9.0-RC and you migrates to kotlin gradle plugin 1.9.0-RC

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

I set kotlin.mpp.import.enableKgpDependencyResolution=false already. And the name main vs desktopMain doesn’t matter, since it fails on both:

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Ah, this whole block is not needed. Just the kotlin.mpp.import.enableKgpDependencyResolution=false line works for me
