Anyone else seeing random crashes when using any M3 TextField (Compose 1.4.0-alpha04)?

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No static field $stable of type I in class Landroidx/compose/foundation/text/KeyboardActions; or its superclasses (declaration of 'androidx.compose.foundation.text.KeyboardActions' appears in /data/app/~~Ryd15-x8fYvP8Rc3u4Of2g==/x.x.x-AjN2HUwfoOTGS8EQxcnlNg==/base.apk)

Known issue, will be fixed in next release. Are you using the latest version of the material artifact?

[Zoltan Demant]

Got it! Known as in its been there for a while? Havent noticed it until upgrading. Same version for M3.

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Upgrading m3 to latest version should workaround it

Isn't 1.4.0-alpha04 the latest version?

[eygraber]

Oh it's 1.1.0-alpha04

[Zoltan Demant]

Thank you.. I forgot that they were using different versions!

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Yep. Both libraries are affected, upgrading to the newest versions fixes both. The newest versions are:
Material: 1.4.0-alpha04
Material3: 1.1.0-alpha04

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

This is a weird bug because it’s a compiler bug that breaks backwards compatibility of the foundation artifact. It was already fixed before these were even released, but the release had already been cut, so the fixed artifact will only be the next release.

Any libraries that depend on foundation and use KeyboardActions will also probably be affected, until the next compose release.

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

We’ll be updating the release notes to mention this issue soon.

[eygraber]

So Material 1.4.0-alpha04 and M3 1.1.0-alpha04 shouldn't be used if you use a TextField?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

No, those are the latest versions, they are the only ones that should be used with the 1.4.0-alpha04 releases of other compose artifacts.

[eygraber]

Oh I see, thanks!
