What’s new in the Jetpack Compose April ’25 release

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/04/whats-new-in-jetpack-compose-april-25.html

Today, as part of the Compose April ‘25 Bill of Materials, we’re releasing version 1.8 of Jetpack Compose, Android’s modern, native UI toolkit, used by many developers. This release contains new features like autofill, various text improvements, visibility tracking, and new ways to animate a composable’s size and location. It also stabilizes many experimental APIs and fixes a number of bugs.

To use today’s release, upgrade your Compose BOM version to 2025.04.01 :

implementation(platform("androidx.compose:compose-bom:2025.04.01"))

Note: If you are not using the Bill of Materials, make sure to upgrade Compose Foundation and Compose UI at the same time. Otherwise, autofill will not work correctly.
