I added a kotlinPlugin dependency as described in the release notes, but gradle is giving me an error that the function doesn’t exist. I have the composeOptions configuration as well. Do i need to use a particular version of gradle or the kotlin gradle plugin? I’m using gradle 6.2 and kotlin 1.3.61.

The error is:

Could not find method kotlinPlugin() for arguments [androidx.compose:compose-compiler:0.1.0-dev05] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Everything seems to work without the kotlinPlugin dependency, is it really necessary?

[Louis Pullen-Freilich [G]]

Oops, that shouldn't be there I think. The composeOptions block configures the correct compiler version, not sure why that part is there

Is documentation of compose ui updated for dev05 ?

[Louis Pullen-Freilich [G]]

Yes, reference documentation should all be updated.
