Version 1.4 of Compose Compiler released with support for Kotlin 1.8 (https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-compiler#1.4.0…)

[Pablichjenkov]

Fixed faulty code generation for inline lambda

☝️This release note sounds good!

[Michael Paus]

Is that somehow usable for compose desktop too?

[John O'Reilly]

yes, you can use following in your compose desktop build.gradle.kts

compose {
    kotlinCompilerPlugin.set("1.4.0")
}

[John O'Reilly]

there's example of doing that in https://github.com/joreilly/FantasyPremierLeague

[Michael Paus]

That’s what I did but I only got a

Caused by: org.gradle.internal.resolve.ModuleVersionNotFoundException: Could not find org.jetbrains.compose.compiler:compiler:1.4.0.

It works with 1.4.0-alpha04 though.

Just looking at https://github.com/joreilly/FantasyPremierLeague/blob/main/build.gradle.kts (at the end) you seem to be doing a lot more than just adding the above 3 lines 😉.

[John O'Reilly]

ah, yes....had that from before and forgot it was there!

[Michael Paus]

But it is still valid and needed, isn’t it?

[John O'Reilly]

so....just trying it out here....and looks like with 1.3.x version of Compose for Desktop (e,g 1.3.0-rc03) that that shouldn't be necessary but you also need to take out the kotlinCompilerPlugin block I mentioned above

[John O'Reilly]

I guess it now has it's own 1.8 compatible version of compose compiler....

[John O'Reilly]

e.g. https://github.com/joreilly/FantasyPremierLeague/pull/62/files

[Michael Paus]

Yes, I also think so because 1.8 is not the problem. It works for desktop and android. I was hoping to fix this iOS bug that way. https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/2635
