Is it possible that latest Navigation Compose is missing a dependency with activity-compose? When calling NavHost(…) the app crashs with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroidx/activity/compose/LocalOnBackPressedDispatcherOwner;. I added the following dependency to my project:

implementation("androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.3.0-alpha02")

and not it seems to work smoothly

You need to add an explicit dependency on activity-compose:1.3.0-alpha02 to get it working, yes.

Same root issue as the other issues with Activity Compose 1.3.0-alpha01: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1612997270153000?thread_ts=1612982100.129800&cid=CJLTWPH7S

I thought this was related to a missing dependency inside navigation-compose and not much with using libraries compiled with an unstable release of Kotlin (after upgrading project to a stable version). Thanks!

[Ian Lake]

It is more that navigation-compose depends on the broken activity-compose:1.3.0-alpha01. By updating the alpha02, you're using what navigation-compose expected all along

Which, in this case, is the existence of the LocalOnBackPressedDispatcherOwner and related APIs
