Here's the new page about the new stack traces in Compose, in case you were wondering how it all is supposed to work: developer.android.com/develop/ui/c...
Something like this is just overhead because the original state is still used.
val visible by remember {
derivedStateOf { foo > 0 }
}
Text(foo, Modifier.graphicsLayer { alpha = if (visible) 1f else 0f } )
A common small mistake I see is correctly using derivedStateOf but still referencing the same state you used in the derived state elsewhere in the recomposition scope.
This release also adds support for Compose stack traces that work with minified apps! (requires R8 and Kotlin 2.3.0+)
Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable! 🎉🎉🎉
Leaning into Jetpack Compose and the idea of combining smaller building blocks together really helped make Nav3 a much more flexible library that made it a joy to work on and hopefully for you to use as well!

So you enabled R8. Now is a good time to catch up on Keep Rules. @ajeshr.bsky.social talks you through configuration and troubleshooting.

Try Gemini 3 in Android Studio!

My talk on Navigation 3 from #dcldn25 is live (very impressive publishing from the droidcon team!). www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Oi...
🆕Yesterday we published updates on #KMP on
d.android.com/kmp!
We finally have the Jetpack libraries that are compatible with KMP .. and CMP!
Want to get into KMP? We have a course goo.gle/kmp-course. Pros can check their skills in the quiz at the end 😁.
If using Gemini in Android Studio is not your cup of tea, you can now use whatever model you want via API key! Now available in latest canaries developer.android.com/studio/gemin...
Would you like to work on Compose at Google (Mountain View CA office)?
Apply here and let's work together www.google.com/about/career...
We launched the Androidify app on Google Play!
Download it now, and create your very own custom Android bot ❤️
I've had loads of fun creating and testing the app - now you can too!

Documentation 📃 for Room KMP just got upgraded.
It finally contains all the information on how to set it up, how to migrate from Android-only and even what features are (unfortunately) not available in KMP. Give it a go! 🟢

Shreyas Patil wrote a nice article about Pausable Composition!
We have been working on designs for this feature for quite a while until Leland asked "Why don't we just skip?". Ben Tengrove did a prototype to prove it would work and voila a feature is born.

If you do, I would recommend using your own Gemini key to get a larger context (1m tokens) developer.android.com/studio/previ...
And yes, there is a rather generous free tier for the Gemini APIs, too ai.google.dev/gemini-api/d...

I was barely online during KotlinConf 2025, so here's my follow-up now.
Thank you so much everyone who joined us, in person or online. It was an incredible experience connecting with the community! ❤️
Here are some highlights of news below, as you've probably missed some! 🧵
If you're new to #KMP we have 2 new codelabs:
1️⃣ Get started - goo.gle/kmp-get-started-codelab 2️⃣ Migrate Room - goo.gle/kmp-migrate-room-codelab
Try it out, let us know what you miss! 🤖🍏
Thanks to everyone that attended the code-along at #KotlinConf 😊
There are a lot of amazing KMP talks coming out right now but here is our talk from I/O!
Dustin and I give an update on our latest KMP releases and then explain the build setup for an Android KMP app.

Tomorrow we will show how to measure and improve app performance at #GoogleIO. Make sure to join in.
Today, we've released a brand new Jetpack library - Navigation3! A pure Compose, state based navigation library: android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/05/anno...
#io25 is a go! Excited to be here for the first time as a Googler! Find me at the Androidify booth for most of today 👀
I am looking forward to KotlinConf 2025. I hope to see you there.
Do drop by for the talk by @alanv and I on "APIs: How Hard Can They Be?"
#kotlinconf
Don't use Gson on Android. Use Kotlin Serialization instead. It relies on code generation instead of reflection. This helps avoid optimization related crashes and faster app performance.

But in general yes, it's a challenge for any xplat framework
The superpower is, if your company is big enough your iOS Devs barely need to know. Analytics or whatever other framework team can package it up so it just looks like any other iOS framework and now they are shipping to multiple platforms with one team
This was an amazing post. Thank you for taking the time to write it
Very generic but leads from the front by example, doesn't just yell from the back. Tries to remove roadblocks before the team hits them rather than placing them in the path
