@Composable
    private fun emptyIcon() {
        Box(
            boxModifier,
            contentAlignment = Alignment.Center,
        ) {
            Image(bitmap = squareImage, alpha = 0.2F)
        }
    }

Since build 142 I am kinda forced to set contentDescription ?
Kinda confused since it's a String? and I am using named arguments... very early here 😄

Is there a question? Content description is a mandatory parameter

[xetra11]

but wasn't before right?

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

It's nullable, but no default value set in the function signature. So you have to provide it explicitly.

[xetra11]

I wonder what the reason was to make it mandatory

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Right there in the source and commit message

[xetra11]

just for convetional sakes? Like best practise in HTML where one should always provide the alt attribute?

[xetra11]

ok thx

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Accessibility is not a convention

[Cyril Find]

I guess it's incentive for people to use it (if you really don't want to you can create your own Image composable)

[xetra11]

nah I am fine - just was wondering what and why this happened after I upgraded
