Is Live Edit supposed to work on Compose Multiplatform? I've tried on the latest versions of Android Studio and IntelliJ but it's basically unusable.
In 90% of the cases it asks me to manually recompile (arrow button) instead of updating automatically. The error is often that a new function I added wasn't found or similars. In some cases, I even have to clean the project or the IDE to make it work. The 5% of the times it works it's wonderful, so it's such a shame...
How do you iterate on UI quickly? Is Desktop Hot Reload the only choice?

This issue has persisted for over a year without any noticeable improvement. Previews are an excellent feature, but they tend to break or become unreliable, especially after adding Compose Multiplatform. It would be great to see more stability and attention given to this area.

Live edit is unusable on Android as well, not just CMP, at least from my experience
