Quick Q: I'm trying to use a dev-version of the compose compiler to be able to use kotlin 2.0 beta 4. Since the jetbrains compiler doesn't support it yet, I'm using the Google one.

According to this Google page the version 1.5.11-dev-k2.0.0-Beta4-21f5e479a96 would work. Trying to use this, I'm greeting with this message. Do I need to add a certain repository to use these dev versions?

yes it needs a custom repository, see the top https://androidx.dev/ page

[ephemient]

actually not that, oops (you're looking for plugin not other snapshots)

[ephemient]

see the bottom of https://androidx.dev/storage/compose-compiler/repository under project configuration

Thank you. I saw the snapshot repos but they didn't list the compiler. I didn't see the url in the sample project!
