Hello dear developers,

I just wanted to ask, now that Compose is in beta, is it safe to use it in already existing production apps?
As guided here https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/interop

Note: Jetpack Compose is currently in beta. The 1.0 API surface is feature-complete but may contain bugs. See the release notes for the latest updates.

API safe (app code doesn’t change much), and publish at your own risk basically.
For example beta02 still has some bugs that are blocker for release imo

Nope. I wudn't recommend to use it in production ATM.

[Danish Ansari]

ok, I won't

Thanks @allan.conda and @theapache64

Well, maybe not an answer to the original question, but:

We at FHNW (a university in Switzerland) are using Jetpack Compose in education since last year (starting with alpha01).

I deeply believe that Compose will be widely used in production and I want my students to be prepared when they hit the job market.

Besides that Compose is great for education. The students really like it and produce well crafted, nice little apps, far better than in bad old Android-days.

The Compose team is doing a wonderful job.
