Hey Guys
Jetpack Compose compiler 1.5.4 released today with kotlin 1.9.20 support
But Compose MPP(1.5.10) already went live with kotlin 1.9.20 support and with compose compiler 1.5.3
They can change things and probably remove hardcoding , but what does it mean for android?
In android app i was forced to set kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion = “1.5.4-dev-k1.9.20-50f08dfa4b4” to make it run on 1.9.20.
Is it fine that android app works on a different compose compiler than the compose mpp one? Can someone put more sense how this is not a problem bcz from what i know on android compose mpp will just use androidx compose

Compose mpp is a bit behind (they rebased 1.5.3 version of compiler to Kotlin 1.9.20). Version 1.5.4 contains some more fixes and functionality than just Kotlin rebase, I assume they are going to catch up at some point.
It is fine to use either compiler for compilation, as far as I know, the codebase is identical and is backwards compatible.

Okay i got it, so the compose compiler mentioned in the Android project only will be used, not the compose mpp one

And bcz compose compiler is backward compatibility anyway it should not be a problem even if compose mpp is using a lower version

Thanks 🙏🙏
