Re: ViewModel for iOS: I am still confused what is supported and what is not. I see the 1.6.10-beta01 release refer to using ViewModel  with the following comment:
```For using ViewModels outside of NavHost you need to provide custom store owner via LocalViewModelStoreOwner```
I want to use the ViewModel as a base for my own ViewModels to have access to viewModel(Coroutine)Scope. Is this possible with the current alpha04 version, and if so, any examples out there? Thank you!

The comment is about `LocalViewModelStoreOwner` that defines lifetime of your `ViewModel` s. Currently there is no default one outside of navigation

Example of defining your own: <https://github.com/MatkovIvan/nav_cupcake/blob/1dc15b6ef68f68ba358a32501802142967f6494b/composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/matkovivan/nav_cupcake/ViewModels.kt#L27-L55|https://github.com/MatkovIvan/nav_cupcake/blob/1dc15b6ef68f68ba358a32501802142967f[…]/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/matkovivan/nav_cupcake/ViewModels.kt>

It's temporary - Compose Multiplatform will implement `LocalViewModelStoreOwner`

Well, I cannot even get that far: when I add
```implementation(libs.androidx.lifecycle.viewmodel)```
to my commonMain, my iOS build fails with:
```

It's a reference to toml.

What package and version are you trying to use?

sorry, this:
```androidx-lifecycle-viewmodel = { module = "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx", version.ref = "lifecycle" }```
where
```lifecycle = "2.8.0-alpha04"```


maybe i dont want the ktx version anymore, since i think it is pure kotlin anyway

1. *-ktx are not multiplatform
2. It's a Google's package: it will work on iOS, but if you need web too use JB's one: `org.jetbrains.androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*` . It will redirect to Google's one on supported platforms.

Please note that our versioning a bit different: as mentioned in <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/releases/tag/v1.6.10-beta01|changelog>:
&gt; - Lifecycle libraries `androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.8.0-alpha01`. Based on:
&gt;   - [Lifecycle 2.8.0-alpha04](<https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/lifecycle#2.8.0-alpha04>)
it's only 2.8.0-alpha01

Ugh, I did not even notice that org.jetbrains. Sooo many packages....

If my hair was not already gray, it would be worse..
