Only thing that makes me cringe is seeing the androidx imports in desktop code. i wish the package name, could be platform agnostic. Probably compose?🤷‍♂️

Is it just me who is disturbed by this? anyone else?

We want to make sure the sourcecode is compatible between Jetpack Compose and CfF, and introducing different package name looks not very reasonable in light of that

[andylamax]

I understand it is abit late to do this. But just importing androidx.* packages in a none android project, is like seeing import {File} from "<http://java.io|java.io>"

I think there should only be 1 package prefix if the code is compatible, and from a technical standpoint if androidx.compose packages aren't actually android specific, maybe they shouldn't have androidx at the start. But also it is part of a project with androidx people made with what I assume is androidx resources so it feels a bit unreasonable to suggest that they change it. Maybe in the medium-term future this stuff can move to a separate organisation developed by other organizations like Kotlin is?

[andylamax]

if one uses androidx resources, Is it a requirement to have an androidx package name?

i tried to push for compose to have a different package name early on for precisely this reason. no dice 😛

Since Compose is still in alpha, it's still time for such a change, right?

Agree! It will increase adoption in future by iOS teams.
