As part of setup for compose i see that the gradle file now holds this:

packagingOptions {
        resources {
            excludes += '/META-INF/{AL2.0,LGPL2.1}' // ??? 
        }
    }

Does anyone know what this means?

Not 100% sure, but it could be that while packaging apk, it will exclude META-INF folder and licence files.

What are META-INF folders?
