Apparently it’s now possible to compile a jetpack compose project in version 4.1.1 of android studio without being enforced to use Android Studio 4.2

does it work 100%?

Yes but there is not the preview

Maybe this is related to JetBrains Compose working with AGP 4.0.1. Hope this changes the Preview behavior so it receives a Compose Theme instead of picking it from the manifest

The policy of using canary versions of Studio for Compose hasn't changed, so keep in mind that you're well off on your own if you go down this route

Curious, @Eric Ampire [MOD], what AGP version are you using when compiling in Android Studio 4.1.1?
