Hi there.
Need help with string resources on my KMM + Compose project.
Got template from Kotlin Multiplatform Wizard
Trying get access to string over this tutorial:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/compose-images-resources.html
and don't have success:

• generateComposeResClass in not found
• stringResource fun in not found
• Res is not found
string.xml put into composeResources/value folder

[Aleksey Zamulla]

I'm guessing the Res class was not generated for you. You can generate it manually with the generateComposeResClass Gradle task.

Also, it's probably just a typo in your message, but check that it's the composeResources/values folder, and not composeResources/value.

Thanks. But generateComposeResClass task is not found too.
I believe that is root cause of a problem.

Oh, then the problem is that the default KMP wizard project comes with the stable Compose Multiplatform version 1.5.12, which makes sense. But the new resources API is only implemented in the upcoming 1.6.0.

To use a new version, change the compose-plugin version in the gradle/libs.versions.toml to 1.6.0-rc02 , for example.

A stable 1.6.0 release should happen within a week or two.
