Not sure where to report this, but I’m having major problems deploying compose projects to a physical device over usb (Pixel 4a) using a new Apple Silicon Macbook Air. The phone seems to be keeping an old version, doesn’t matter if Run/Debug. Uninstalling the app is the only way for the deployment to correct launch the latest apk.

This is on Android Studio Arctic Fox Canary 2 with Compose on latest alpha08. I’ve also tried with compose-samples (JetChat) and having the same problems.

I have resorted to adding a dynamic buildCode to build.gradle which gets new deployments properly launched on the device:

def buildCode = (int)(((new Date().getTime()/1000) - 1451606400) / 10)
android {
    compileSdkVersion 30
    buildToolsVersion "30.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        ...
        versionName "0.1.${buildCode}"
        ...
    }
}

I am not sure if this has to do with apple silicon, arctic fox, or alpha08?
