1.7.0-alpha01

Changes since 1.6.11

Highlights

• Compose Multiplatform resources are stored in the android assets now. This fixes Android Studio Preview and cases such as a rendering resource files in WebViews or Media Players
• Shared Element Transitions
• Safe Args in Navigation Compose

Breaking changes

Android

• Minimal supported AGP raised to 8.1.0

Features

iOS

• Initial iOS floating cursor support
• Added accessibilityEnabled: Boolean = true argument to UIKitView and UIKitViewController
• preferredStatusBarStyle, preferredStatysBarAnimation and prefersStatusBarHidden are added to ComposeUIViewControllerDelegate to allow status bar appearance modification

Desktop

• Add constructor with RenderSettings to ComposePanel. Added a class RenderSettings with val isVsyncEnabled: Boolean?. When set to true gives a hint to renderer implementation of the particular ComposePanel to reduce the latency between the input and visual changes in exchange for possible screen tearing
• Add public moveEnabled and positionPercentage setters in SplitPaneState

Resources

• Speed resources web rendering up by the reading a cached value instantly
• If there is no resource with suitable density, use resource with the most suitable density, otherwise use default (similar to the Android logic)
• Add a customization for resources directories. Now it is possible to use e.g downloaded resources

Fixes

Multiple Platforms

• Fix "ComposePanel. Focus moves to child after focusing/unfocusing the main window"
• Don't show code completion for non-existenst API in commonMain that fails on Android with NoSuchMethodException
• Fix order of interop elements in some cases
• Fixed Popup jerking during ripple effect animation
• Fix applying ShaderBrush to part of AnnotatedString
• Fix text brush animation and optimized updating some visual text properties (applying time is reduced up to 40%)
• Fix initial cursor position in the empty TextField with explicitly set TextAlignment
• Fix focus for editable TextField inside ExposedDropdownMenuBox

iOS

• Pressing directional keys on a physical keyboard connected to iOS device doesn't cause a crash
• Dismissing popup or dialogue within a very short timespan after its creation doesn't cause a crash
• Fix missing invalidations during native view resize
• Fixed a memory spike when continuously resizing the ComposeUIViewController (such as when used in modal sheet presentation context with different detents)
• visibility of selection handles in single-line textfields with LTR + RTL text in iOS

Desktop

• Fix possible UninitializedPropertyAccessException in desktopTest
• Fixed ComposePanel.requestFocus(), making it correctly assign focus to the first focusable child
• When using ComposePanel inside a Swing application on macOS, VoiceOver will now correctly go into the ComposePanel when traversing accessible elements
• When using ComposePanel inside a Swing application on Windows with NVDA turned on, focus will now correctly go into the ComposePanel when traversing with (ctrl)-shift-tab
• Correctly save WindowState with unspecified size instead of crashing
• Fix IndexOutOfBoundsException crash on Windows when traversing a11y elements

Web

• Process keydown and keyup keys for identified keys from virtual keyboard
• Allow preloading the fallback fonts. This enables the usage of emojis and other unicode characters without manually composing the Text with AnnotatedString
• Make sure the web app distribution doesn't contain a duplicate skiko.wasm

Resources

• Delete contextClassLoader usage on JVM targets
• Create an empty resource dir with "podspec" task instead "podInstall"
• Fix resource accessors escaping. Now it is possible to use resources with names: "package", "is", "item_$xxx" etc
• Read exactly requested count of bytes from InputStream on jvm platforms

Gradle Plugin

• Make sure tryGetSkikoRuntimeIfNeeded is executed only during the task execution
• Delete outdated build services
