🕵️‍♂️ The basic API seems to be defined in a commonMain and androidMain contains the Android implementation

Was Jetpack Compose build to support (as much as possible) Kotlin Multiplateform ? 🤔

Compose-runtime can be compiled by Kotlin/Native after (relatively small) patch, see https://github.com/msink/kotlin-compose-sdl/tree/master/compose-runtime
About next step - compose-compiler-plugin - seems that it will be possible only after it will be moved from google-patched Kotlin compiler to mainline JetBrains version.

It could be, but you're going to have exponentially better results using the native tool on the platform.

@msink If I remember correctly, compiler plugin uses jvm backend specific transformations which cannot be applied for native, so probably some things need to be migrated there as well.

as someone who teaches SwiftUI ... I have to say my Compose code benefits from understanding SwiftUI. And my SwiftUI code benefits from understanding Compose ... The Apple team has done an amazing job with the CombineFramework / SwiftUI. For the people who want to do SwiftUI on Android, I always tout the amazing work the Android Team is doing with Compose 🤪
