👋 Are the new experimental context receivers usable with Composable functions? I’ve tried playing around with some basic examples but keep running into Backend Internal error: Exception during IR lowering, wondering if I’m doing it wrong or if it’s just not supported yet

Try it out, let me know how it goes. If it doesn't work, let me know and I can try respinning that build.

[Nikolai Wotton]

Thanks! Trying it now, one sec

This is my first time grabbing a dev build of compose, so not positive I’m doing that right but I’m getting Could not find androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:1.2.0-dev-k1.7.0-RC2-6ab9bf980ae.

I added this to my settings.gradle.kts:

maven {
            url = URI("<https://androidx.dev/storage/compose-compiler/repository/>")
        }

[jim]

I think you may have tried to upgrade all of Compose instead of just the Compose Compiler?

[jim]

Specifically, your change should not have impacted ui-tooling-preview which is not a dependency of the ComposeCompiler.

[Nikolai Wotton]

Ah, yep. I just lowered it back to 1.2.0-beta03. I’m back to getting Internal Compiler Errors though

Backend Internal error: Exception during IR lowering

[Nikolai Wotton]

If I do 1.1.1 it’s the same error, so that being beta isn’t it

[jim]

What does the context receiver composable you're testing look like? I can try it out locally

[Nikolai Wotton]

wait

[Nikolai Wotton]

yeah that was my fault - some failed debugging attempts caused it - went back to what I started with on the RC versions and it works!

[Nikolai Wotton]

thanks!
