Any idea why this error:

# compose

Did you disable version control in IntelliJ?
Look at the list of built-in plugins and see if it's disabled by any chance.

[Daniel Pitts]

Nope.

[Skaldebane]

That's pretty weird. Maybe disabling the Jetpack Compose plugin, restarting, then enabling it again may prompt you to also enable the required plugin?

[Daniel Pitts]

Did that a few times already.

[Skaldebane]

This VCS module isn't in the plugin list, so it's probably something internal, I got no clue why it'd get disabled

[Skaldebane]

Guess you might need to reinstall the IDE

[Daniel Pitts]

I’m able to use vcs too, so it is really strange to me.

[Skaldebane]

Ah, it's probably an "API" for other plugins then?
Whatever the case, I'd go with a reinstall rather than trying to catch whatever's going on here 😅

[Daniel Pitts]

Is this plugin even necessary for me? I'm a well-experienced back-end dev, but I don't really understand difference between Compose Multi-Platform and Jetpack Compose. I'm just trying to create a simple app that works both on my desktop and in a browser.

[Skaldebane]

Aha, for desktop + web you might possibly not need it, since it's originally for Android
I got both of them, not sure if the "Jetpack Compose" one adds any conveniences at all if you're not dealing with Android

[Daniel Pitts]

Okay. I haven't noticed anything amiss, but I wouldn't know if I'm missing out on something 😉

[Skaldebane]

I mean, it feels like most of the work on making non-Android targets (and multiplatform) nicer in general is happening in Fleet
There you'll have preview support for desktop source sets, and some other niceties
But I still prefer good ol' trusty IntelliJ nevertheless blob big smile Fleet still got a long ways to go

[Daniel Pitts]

I see.
