Hello, I'd like to use Compose UI 1.7.0-beta01 on Desktop (1.6 being the latest that JetBrains published). I've seen that Google publishes Desktop compatible artifacts, and I'm wondering what I need to do to use it without any clash in a Compose Desktop project.
Is just declaring the dependency on the androidx artifact enough, or do I need to do something to have the JetBrains Compose plugin pick the androidx one over the JetBrains one?

They are published for technical reasons. The state of code is like ~2y ago of JetBrains fork.

It's technically compilable, but that's definitely not what you're expecting. Just be patient and wait multiplatform adoption

I've got a talk to prepare for KotlinConf 😅

I guess I won't be able to do what I wanted, which is using GraphicsLayer APIs (introduced in 1.7) on Desktop

Do you know if the first multiplatform 1.7 (pre?)release is on track to be out on Tuesday?

[Ivan Matkov]

Definitely no. It will be 1.6.10

What are the technical reasons Google publishes desktop artifacts?

Infrastructure+test of common part

It's there, but like as just a patch above 1.0
