Great job, but I have a question about this, didn't Google move away from this type of approach for their Material Icons and are now removing it in favor of XML?

[Mert Özdemir]

Thanks! Actually, in Jetpack Compose and Compose Multiplatform, ImageVector is still the preferred way to handle vector graphics afaik, especially for custom icons and performance benefits in Compose-based UIs

It's a good approach for the application icons, but it's not suitable for icon pack libraries

[Daniel Weidensdörfer]

@Konstantin Tskhovrebov Speaking of icon pack libraries. Is there any guidance on how to create one? I couldn't manage to use composeResources in the importing application so far.

[Konstantin Tskhovrebov]

Should work. Submit an issue if it doesn't, please. With a reproducer

[Daniel Weidensdörfer]

So the contents of composeResources in a library should be available as <http://Res.drawable.xxx|Res.drawable.xxx> in the main application?

[Konstantin Tskhovrebov]

If you configure the Res as public - yes

That did the trick. Thanks.
