Is it possible to run Compose with older Android Gradle Plugin versions? Looks like 7.0.+ versions causes ./gradlew check to fail with weird lint errors we never had before.

AGP frequently adds new lint checks in new AGP versions, which is what I’m guessing you are experiencing. One of the new checks in 7.0.0 encourages you to replace code like parentFragmentManager!! with requireParentFragmentManager() for example. You can turn those off for your project or suppress them if you want.

To answer your question- yes, you can. Here’s a good article on doing so: https://marcellogalhardo.dev/posts/2021/03/30/using-compose-beta-on-as-4-1/

Note that you will not have IDE tooling support if you go that route
