Has anyone tried adding Jetpack Compose to existing KMM project. As soon I add the required dependencies for compose in the project gradle file, it just does not work. I am on Android Studio 4.2 C 12. Tried to copy the settings from perfectly working Compose examples, still no luck

Are you trying to add compose code to same module that you have KMM shared code in? If so, then I believe there's still some issues with that

No, what I am trying to achieve is to have a KMM enabled project and I want to use compose to build the Android app. I am adding compose dependency in app build gradle file, not in shared module gradle file.

Check out decompose, maybe the same workaround could work in your case https://github.com/arkivanov/decompose

@Ajeet Pratap I did try and it had a compiler issue (probably the compose compiler and the kmm setup don't work together). At the time there was no solution and there is a bug open https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-38694 but as I see now (in a comment) there might be a workaround: https://github.com/avdim/compose_mpp_workaround If this doesn't work, then make your KMM project as an Android library (that is what I did and that is also what decompose does as I see) and just have an Android module that depends on that and has the compose plugin installed

@Ajeet Pratap if it is case that compose usage will be in say your app module and KMM is in a separate shared module then there's a few samples around that do that.....I have following one for example if you want to use to compare config etc https://github.com/joreilly/PeopleInSpace

Yes, this MPP workaround does work. It allows one to use Compose in the androidMain source set.
