Material3 DatePicker always shows in UTC time regardless of the local timezone. Anyone encountered this issue before?

Can you share more about the issue?

This returns the selected date timestamp

datePickerState.selectedDateMillis

I use this to get the date timestamp with timezone.

val startOfDayTimestamp: LocalDate = getLocalDate(
                            timestamp = datePickerState.selectedDateMillis.orZero(),
                        )

Util methods I use,
You can combine them into a single one if required.

public fun getLocalDate(
    timestamp: Long,
    zoneId: ZoneId = getSystemDefaultZoneId(),
): LocalDate {
    return Instant
        .ofEpochMilli(timestamp)
        .toZonedDateTime(
            zoneId = zoneId,
        )
        .toLocalDate()
}

public fun Instant.toZonedDateTime(
    zoneId: ZoneId = getSystemDefaultZoneId(),
): ZonedDateTime {
    return this.atZone(zoneId)
}

public fun getSystemDefaultZoneId(): ZoneId {
    return ZoneId.systemDefault()
}
