I tried to update to navigation-compose 2.4.0-alpha07, but i see that it requires API level 31, which is not released, yet. This is not documented in the release notes. Is this an intentional change? cc <@UJBPFB3SN>

Same can be said about <https://github.com/google/accompanist/releases/tag/v0.17.0|Accompanist v0.17.0>, fwiw, although it's actually documented there. :thinking_face:

Yep, Accompanist is built against API 31 because of AndroidX.

Every AndroidX library released from that date onward will compile with API 31. You should always compile with the latest SDK as per  <https://link.medium.com/j0p6bIX83ib|https://link.medium.com/j0p6bIX83ib>

I see. API 31 is in preview, and it does not have any source code attached, so we can debate whether it is “latest”. :slightly_smiling_face: But i guess we have no choice but to upgrade.

No, API 31 is finalized: <https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2021/07/android-12-beta-3.html|https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2021/07/android-12-beta-3.html>

Oh i see. SDK manager refers to it as “preview” this is why i mentioned it. And as i said, it is inconvenient that there are no sources, so we cannot debug or explore what is happening in platform calls. But it is good to know that the API will not change.

<@U02AAF49HKJ> This little workaround for the missing sources has been useful to me on every new Android release: <https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/6ihzli/targeting_api_26_what_do_to_about_those_missing/dj6ny30?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x&amp;context=3|https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/6ihzli/targeting_api_26_what_do_to_abou[…]e_missing/dj6ny30?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x&amp;context=3>
