Is Android Studio Arctic Fox suitable for production use? If it isn't, that still means that Compose can't be used for production 😔

On the video they answer about using compose in production

What does it mean for the IDE to be production-ready? The IDE isn’t being shipped with your app. I’ve been using AS canaries to develop production code almost all year. There are sometimes bugs here and there, but they’re bugs that affect my workflow, not the apps I build.

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] how blocking where those bugs blocking your workflow? What kind of bugs are we talking about?

I've also been using Canary build here and there to build production apps. It shouldn't affect your app in any way, unless there's a bug in the APK signing process and you use Android studio to build your APKs

What I meant with production ready is indeed, not blocking your workflow too much with IDE bugs

For the most part it’s actually been so smooth that bugs were almost unnoticeable on small codebases. Usually there are bugs with the Composable preview support. We’ve noticed some performance issues occasionally with our main giant codebase.

Sometimes I had issues with version compatibility between the Gradle plugin version the project was using and the one AS wanted, but this has happened rarely and in order to prevent such issues, I'm usually waiting for a few days before updating AS to see if such issues were present.
