Question

I m currently on Kt 1 4 31 and getting the following error `This version 1 0 0 alpha13 of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1 4 30 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1 4 31 which is not known to be compatible Please fix your configuration or `suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck` but don t say I didn t warn you ` Is it recommended to use `suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck` or revert from 1 4 31 to 1 4 30

I asked a similar question a few days ago if you want to search for it

jim · Answer

The recommendation is to only use Compose with the supported version of kotlin But if you were to suppress I m 99 sure it would work or undefined results crashes may occur stuck out tongue

I m using 1 4 31 just because I m trying to improve kotlin AS performance where I can Compose seems to work fine for me

< Colton Idle> Is Android Studio performance improved with Kotlin 1 4 31

jim · Answer

I would be shocked if upgrading to 1 4 31 in your build file improved studio performance as studio would presumably still be running the older version of Kotlin the version embedded into canary8

< Samir Basnet> not that I can tell < jim> yeah It s just at this point I ll try anything Writing kotlin in android studio is the most painful part of my day Everything is so slow and laggy You almost can barely tell that I have a Mac pro with 192 gigs of ram sob

Still hoping that documentation from the android team could help with where to target my ram <https issuetracker google com issues 120953354> Also holding my breath on new kotlin frontend compiler I ve submitted multiple bug reports to jetbrains already They have basically said new FE compiler will alleviate my issues If I can get new FE compiler this year plus gradle to make some radical improvements on incremental builds then it ll be a good year Until then android development is unfortunately a nightmare

< Colton Idle> On a serious note which Mac are you using Ram I am planning to buy M1 Mac 16 Gb Currently i own a Lenovo 8 Gb laptop with HDD and you can already guess how painfully slow it is Like slowness from Hell Especially with Kotlin i did not used to experience this level of slow and lags when i was using Java And with Canary and using Compose the slowness has achieved another level
