Hi, why will the material icons libraries be removed? Are there any alternatives to it? https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/fda069fe217246933ccb671d5f34f4eff803f275

"Developers should continue using 1.7.0 versions even after the rest of compose moves forward in versions"
You can still use them. But they don't get new icons so there's no reason to ship newer versions.
They also take forever to compile so they are being used as prebuilts now.

@Kyant 3rd party alternative: you can copy the onces you need from https://www.composables.com/icons

i dont understand your question @Kyant? can you re-state?

Probably what's here https://fonts.google.com/icons

As far as I can see, they are only removing xml icons. I guess they are keeping
ImageVector
icons. It's better to use vector icons anyway (e.g.
Icons.Default.ArrowRight
).
