I have a really strange issue

[Tower Guidev2]

my current android application only works as required on my device.
when any of my colleagues build the same github branch the app builds and installs ok however the compose navigation does not work
if i build an apk and distribute it to my team this works fine
we have compared gradle.properties and local.properties for all team members and these are identical to mine.
we are all using the same Android Studio version of

Android Studio Flamingo | 2022.2.1 Canary 2

    com.android.aas (3.5.1)

what could be causing this issue?
what config are we missing?
the part of the app that does not work for my colleagues is that the compose navigation does not work, the app employs a backdrop with menu items that allow the user to navigate to other sections of the application. clicking on these menu items only works for me

My two cents worth are that some settings contained in files excluded by your .gitignore are effecting the compilations. But that is just a guess, and I have absolutely no idea what those settings might be

i fixed this by getting my colleagues to delete the .idea folder
we tried lots of other approaches before finding this 😄
