Doing KMM with Compose on Android. Android Studio ...

04/16/2021, 2:25 PMDoing KMM with Compose on Android. Android Studio doesn't handle multiplatform well -- tests in shared code don't run properly, or resolve references. But IDEA Ultimate doesn't have a version of the Android Studio plugin needed for Compose. Anyone else having this issue and managed to work around it somehow?

FWIW, I was able to get Compose working with an older version of the android gradle plugin, which means I can use IJ IDEA again instead of Studio, using this sample project/commit as a guide: https://github.com/joreilly/MortyComposeKMM/commit/3d73c0d64f58fdae719ad66ee75830f1e245b608.
Which mostly works, except now I had to manually mark the

But it's all still bleeding edge... hopefully soon it'll work.
John OReilly followed this guide btw: https://marcellogalhardo.dev/posts/2021/03/30/using-compose-beta-on-as-4-1/
