Upgrading to

1.2.0-alpha01-dev748

is failing with

This version (1.2.0) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1.7.0 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.7.10 which is not known to be compatible.  Please fix your configuration (or `suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck` but don't say I didn't warn you!).

Meanwhile

1.2.0-alpha01-dev745

is working correctly 🤔

Perhaps, because the check was enabled again recently - https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C01D6HTPATV/p1657736565791649?thread_ts=1657736565.791649&cid=C01D6HTPATV

Exactly what it says, there is no version officially compatible with 1.7.10

ah, I was thinking that the old one was already compatible with 1.7.10

FWIW, the compose compiler published by Google should work when building Compose for Desktop apps, and does support Kotlin 1.7.0

should be great to know how to do that, until know I am only using the Gradle plugin from JetBrains, hope google and jetbrains merge them into a “single” artifact in the future

It's possible to swap the compiler plugin, but the original question is about building against Kotlin 1.7.10, which is not possible with either plugin, isn't it?

It is if you swap in the dev builds: https://androidx.dev/storage/compose-compiler/repository

Alright then, the approach can be found here - https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/2108

I'm not sure what you mean, can you elaborate? Compose-desktop and compose-android binaries should both be compatible with future versions of the kotlin stdlib, and the same compiler should work with both targets.

I mean, using different versions of the compiler plugin is possible with Android Jetpack Compose, there is even a Gardle API. But there is no official API for MPP Compose (AFAIK), and it looks like compose is still coupled with a certain compiler plugin and so with the Kotlin version.

When you say "MPP Compose", can we be specific here? Are we talking about compose-desktop or something else?

By MPP compose I mean the one published in https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev

There are many targets there: https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev/org/jetbrains/compose/material3/

Yes I tried swapping a few weeks ago, there were various compilation errors described in that issue, especially with Compose for Web

Ok, yeah, the google binaries will work for compose-android and compose-desktop, those compiler binaries don't yet support web or ios, which is why I was repeatedly being explicit about compose-desktop despite being in the compose-desktop channel, and was asking for confirmation about what you mean when talking about MPP.

TBH, there was an NPE error during Gradle sync with Compose for Desktop, it was fixed later with a release officially compatible with Kotlin 1.7.0.

that plus AGP integrated into KGP KMP plugin would be a nice 2022 for KMP

Compose Compiler versions are not expected to be compatible with any version of the Kotlin Compiler except that with which they were built/documented to support. The Kotlin-stdlib is stable, so Compose libraries compiled against the old kotlin-stdlib should work with newer kotlin-stdlibs.

Of course. I was upgrading from Kotlin 1.6.10 to Kotlin 1.7.0, there was a dev build of the Jetpack Compose compiler for Kotlin 1.7.0. I bumped the Kotlin version to 1.7.0, and used the trick to substitute the Compose compiler for Kotlin 1.7.0, while keeping all Compose artifacts of version 1.1.1, and Gradle sync was failing with NPE.
