android:launchMode="standard" or something else?

Just barely compose-android related, but I'll ask anyway. Most apps I build at this point are fully compose with a single activity and configChanges in manifest are all disabled (still as per the guidance from @Adam Powell wayyyyy back when). I'm also using navigation-3 (if its relevant to the convo) but what does everyone do for launchMode. Big argument discussion within our team that i'd like some guidance

I'm not really sure how Compose changes anything here. For what it's worth, I use singleTask with a single Activity, so all intents are routed through it and there is a single root in case the app navigates outside to a browser, payments, maps, etc.

I'm pretty sure I've been using single instance for years. Sameish setup

i think @Ian Lake a while back pretty much said dont use anything except for the default launch mode in some thread a while back but i cant find it. i think he mentioned the single* have a bunch of papercuts and really only make sense for browsers or somthing.

Also remember some conversations and videos where default was recommmended.

Unless things have changed recently you should not be using singleTask because of the task hijacking vulnerability.
