07/22/2020, 2:08 PMI just noticed a big APK size increase from dev13 to dev14. So problem is that many appcompat libs get now included. (I run minify to opimize output APK)
The minimal archiveable APK size was about 600 KB with a simple HelloWorld sample.
Now with dev 14 it is about 1.1 MB.
Not sure if this is a bug? So i could provide a sample project and file a bug report.

07/22/2020, 2:14 PMPlease do and yes, we're watching the size carefully. Part of it is that some parts of compose need a minimum version of some libraries if those libraries are present, as various bugs were fixed/other dependencies configured

07/22/2020, 2:15 PMAn example is some of the view tree service discovery APIs for things like the local LifecycleOwner - the APIs themselves are lower level in other jetpack libs but if you're using an old enough version of fragments or appcompat, they aren't registered properly. Simply including the dependencies in compose is a short term workaround to make sure people don't lose too much time to the resulting debugging.

07/22/2020, 2:59 PMI understand that this is necessary. For me i just use single activity and no fragments.
Anyway i filed a bug: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/161814404
And also created a sample project here: https://gitlab.com/compose1/compose-minimal-hello-world

The biggest increas i see in the appcompat +200 KB also the android package gets from 15 KB to 46 KB and since new kotlin 1.4 kotlinx increased from 78 KB to 96 KB
