@romainguy Do you guys have any release plan / ETA for Jetpack Compose? or going with the natural flow?

[Brandon Risell]

If I had to venture a guess, I'd think they'd probably like to have a beta by I/O 2020, with a 1.0 release for DevCon Dev Summit 2020 or I/O 2021. Pure speculation on my part though.
EDIT: I can't even speculate correctly :(

[Brandon Risell]

Sometime 2021 is probably a safe enough guess for when you might be able to start a greenfield project with Compose? 🤷

Pretty optimistic to assume they’ll jump from pre-alpha to beta in 4 months… Anything’s possible but it seems a bit tight for a project of this scope

[Brandon Risell]

That's fair

[Brandon Risell]

Maybe alpha at I/O 2020 is a better estimate?

[Brandon Risell]

Beta at I/O/ DevCon Dev Summit 2021, release at I/O/ DevCon Dev Summit 2022?
EDIT: I can't even speculate correctly 😞

[seb]

What is DevCon and why do you reckon it’s such an important milestone for them? I’d imagine any big update to happen either at I/O or at Android Dev Summit

[Brandon Risell]

Shame on me, totally goofed the name in my head, I meant Dev Summit, good call 😞

[seb]

Aaah ok 🙂

[seb]

At any rate, I doubt we’ll get anything more than “when it’s ready” before the day they actually release it 🙂

[romainguy]

We have a plan we're just not saying what it is for now :)

[Karthick]

You know, how the suspense be like

[Klaas Kabini]

I am awaiting dev-04 and I think it is the last pre-alpha release before going to alpha. The question becomes how soon are we getting dev-04 because I can see from their recent android-master-dev branch that there has been quite a lot of very interesting changes.

For me API polish gets instant preference vs sooner release 🙂

See what Tamara just posted 🙂
