Different results/bugs because there are a lot of wizards/templates 🙂 :
• Android Studio has its own wizard provided by Android Plugin which is developed by Google.
• IDEA has its own wizard, but reuses some templates from Android Plugin (the same as in Android Studio, but the older version)
• KMM Application template for Android Studio is the part of "Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile" plugin
• Compose Template is the part of IDEA Kotlin plugin, and only visible in IDEA.
Let's talk here only about Compose template and Compose-related IDE issues, as the others are out of scope of this chat.
And let's distinguish wizard bugs (broken/missed files) and IDE bugs (red/underlined classes).
The most of the IDE bugs because of instability of Kotlin MPP (it is still in
Alpha).
The development is painful when everything is broken in IDE, so we should do something about that.
The first step to fix a bug is to have reliable reproducer.
The second step is to let IDEA Kotlin Plugin developers know about that bug. We can let them know about it and create an issue in YouTrack, but if we don't have a reproducer, we can't do that.
The third step is the most difficult. Developers should find time to fix that bug. The more people encounter it (it has a lot of likes in GitHub/YouTrack), the more it becomes a priority.
The bugs in Compose Template are easier to fix, but we also need reliable way to reproduce them.
