Having problems upgrading to compose alpah08.
Project wont compile now with error:

e: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: e: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
'org.jetbrains.kotlin.descriptors.DescriptorVisibility org.jetbrains.kotlin.descriptors.ClassConstructorDescriptor.getVisibility()'

compose versons:
compose_version = ‘1.0.0-alpha08’
nav_compose_version =‘1.0.0-alpha02’
paging_compose_version = ‘1.0.0-alpha02’

kotlin version = ‘1.4.20’

Tried invalidating caches, restart, restart AS, restart Whole machine.

fwiw I'm using 1.0.0-alpha03 of nav_compose here with compose alpha08

tried upgrading the nav version, still same error

That almost certainly means you are somehow still pulling in an older version of the Kotlin compiler. Unfortunately, gradle makes it super hard to understand your dependencies and there are a variety of reasons old versions could get pulled in, so there isn't an easy catch-all answer here. Maybe try checking your kotlinCompilerVersion.

In my case, upgrading nav_compose_version to 1.0.0-alpha03 had fixed the problem when I upgraded to alpha08. Maybe try doing that with the latest version of the paging_compose_version as well. Are there any other compose dependencies you are using?

Seems like someone else as well fixed this issue by upgrading navigation_compose - https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1607784238184900?thread_ts=1607782167.184000&cid=CJLTWPH7S

Thanks everyone for the help, the answer was both paging version which should be upgraded to alpha03, and also kotlinCompilerVersion which was pulling the wrong kotlin version. 🙏🙏
