Hiii, I'm testing Ampere in IJ IDEA on an Android Jetpack Compose project and I'm not seeing the previews. In idea.log, I see these entries that seem related. Does Ampere not yet support compose previews? Related issue I think https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/AMPER-4345

Hi there, no, it doesn't support compose previews yet Of course it's probably not a drop-in replacement, but consider using compose hot reload

Hey @zsmb since you had asked me, the reason I prefer AS and not IJ is this: Compose Previews (amper lacks) and Android Plugin in IJ It's always lagging behind Android Studio, by the way, I use AS Canary version, so I likes the experimental features it includes, for example Material Symbols Dialog, since Material Icons was deprecated by Google. AGP 9 will be released soon and that will break a lot of things... Thanks for the help kodee loving, see you for the next Amper release amper intensifies 
The project is using an incompatible version (AGP 8.13.1) of the Android Gradle plugin. Latest supported version is AGP 8.12.0

Ah yes, that makes sense, we know about the AGP version lag 👍
