v1.8.0-rc01

What's New

Compose Multiplatform v1.8.0-rc01 significantly improves web and iOS text input handling with a new WebTextInputService for Safari compatibility and numerous accessibility fixes. The release enforces Kotlin Gradle Plugin 2.0+ and updates ProGuard to 7.7.0, requiring developers to update build configurations and explicitly declare material-icons-core dependencies if needed.

Highlights

Breaking Changes

  • Custom implementations of deprecated LocalTextInputService are no longer supported
  • Compose Gradle Plugin requires Kotlin Gradle Plugin 2.0+ and removed old compiler configuration API
  • material and material3 libraries removed material-icons-core dependency; must be added explicitly to build.gradle
