I’m running into issues with the latest version of Android Studio and the Kotlin 1.4-M3 plugin. Is this expected? The build compiles with no issues, it’s just really driving me up the wall to see so many red squiggles

[bohregard]

Class 'androidx.compose.Composable' is compiled by a new Kotlin compiler backend and cannot be loaded by the old compiler

[bohregard]

are you referring to this?

[bohregard]

tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile).configureEach {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
        freeCompilerArgs += ["-Xallow-jvm-ir-dependencies", "-Xskip-prerelease-check"]
    }
}

because that it’s in my build gradle already

[jim]

is it in your module's build.gradle as oppose to your project's build.gradle?

[bohregard]

it’s in the app’s build gradle

[bohregard]

Does it need to be top level?

[jim]

I think it is a per-module thing. There should be no harm in putting it in all your build.gradle files just to be sure.

[bohregard]

Fwiw migrating it to the top build gradle file doesn’t allow compilation

[bohregard]

but putting it at the bottom of my app’s build gradle file fixed it 🤔

[bohregard]

oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

thanks for the help

For me putting the tasks to the last line of the gradle file do not help. Everytime when i open Android Studio i get this red squiggles again. What helps for me is doing a reload (sync) of gradle every time i started AS.
