JetBrains has updated its Compose Multiplatform declarative UI framework, stabilizing the multiplatform resources API, upgrading support for iOS and Web targets, and introducing an experimental navigation library based on Jetpack Compose Navigation.
Compose Multiplatform 1.6.10 was announced May 23. Instructions on getting started can be found at jetbrains.com.
The multiplatform resources API, now stable, provides more flexibility and convenience to developers, JetBrains said. Developers now can organize resources in any modules and source sets they wish; resources no longer have to be stored in commonMain. And Compose Multiplatform now takes care of publishing the necessary files for each platform. New experimental functions in the API allow fetching fonts and images as byte arrays, which should help third-party libraries that need access to Compose Multiplatform, the company said.
