AppCompat 1.7.0-beta01 is out now after a bit of a hiatus from its last beta. 😅

Excited to see the new functionality take the first step towards a stable release since this is still necessary to get ComposeView working in an AppCompatDialog.

Special thanks to Jetbrains and Ivan Matkov for helping make the core Lifecycle APIs in Lifecycle, LifecycleObserver, etc. compatible with Kotlin Multiplatform!

There's more we're doing in this space, something some of you have already noticed 👀

@creativedrewy - The Lifecycle APIs depend on a LifecycleOwner - that's what is responsible for sending platform specific calls to drive the more general Lifecycle State changes that you'd observe with the now multiplatform Lifecycle Observer APIs.

On Android, many of those already exist. Jetbrains is already looking at doing the same for iOS: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/pull/1043

My team at Google is hiring in London!

We're looking for mid-level Android developers who want to work in the 'UI Architecture' layer of Jetpack - libraries like Paging, Fragments, Lifecycle, Activity, Navigation and SavedState.

Much of our focus is on ensuring that our libraries and guidance work great with Jetpack Compose and Kotlin Multiplatform.
