PSA: Starting Android Gradle Plugin 9.0 (or the latest stable version of R8): R8 will automatically optimize all Intrinsics.check* APIs in Kotlin automatically !
This should greatly help improve app performance (especially Compose given the large Kotlin library API surface).

👀 Want to see a preview of what's coming up in #JetpackCompose?
We heard you that debugging shared elements is tricky. In 1.11.0-alpha03, a new composable LookaheadAnimationVisualDebugging was added.
Wrap your SharedTransitionLayout to add visual cues to track down those hard to debug issues. 🐛⤵️

#JetpackCompose executes your code in different phases, which causes some parts of the @Composable function to be executed separately from each other.
Crashes in these phases can result in stack traces that are hard to decipher, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact line of code that crashed 💥

Another new feature in Compose 1.10 is the new: Modifier.scrollableArea() 📜
Think of it like this: Modifier.scrollable() tells you how the pointer moved, while Modifier.scrollableArea() translates that pointer movement into how the content should move within a typical scrollable view.
