Does anyone here use compose in a multimodule project? It seems to work fine in single module but I get the above error in a multimodule setup

Yes, I am. Although compose is only activated for the app module, i had different (room related) errors in previous versions when enabling compose for everything.

Interesting. What compose version are you using and what android studio version? I cant figure out why my project builds but doesnt have access to any of the methods at runtime

I'm using compose alpha 11 and AS canary 5. All compose compile configuration is inside the app/build.gradle. Compose dependencies are there, too. It's not any different than a single module project, as no module other than app is using compose. You could start with a single module app, add compose to the app module and then add other modules. This is my setup.
