Kotlin Multiplatform v1.6.10-beta01 Release Notes & Developer Guide
What's New for Developers
Compose Multiplatform v1.6.10-beta01 introduces experimental multiplatform support for Lifecycle, ViewModel, and Jetpack Navigation, enabling shared architecture patterns across iOS, Android, desktop, and web. The release significantly enhances iOS accessibility with improved dialog handling and interop support, adds web clipboard integration and virtual keyboard support, and expands the resource system with plural strings and SVG drawable support. Critical iOS pre-17 device crash and Java 17 desktop requirement are known issues requiring attention.
