The compose compiler plugin you are using (version 1.0.0-alpha13) expects a minimum runtime version of 1.0.0-alpha13

Issue

I cannot get my project to compile after upgrading to compose beta-01. When searching for "alpha-13" in my project I cannot find something too, which is really weird. It worked with alpha-12 though. Im running the correct Android Studio (Arctic Fox Canary 8 at the time)

Invalidate Caches restart, clean project and cleaned global cache does not work

androidx.compose.compiler.plugins.kotlin.IncompatibleComposeRuntimeVersionException: You are using an outdated version of Compose Runtime that is not compatible with the version of the Compose Compiler plugin you have installed. The compose compiler plugin you are using (version 1.0.0-alpha13) expects a minimum runtime version of 1.0.0-alpha13.

Solution

I finally fixed it by declaring an explicit dependency on androidx.activity:activity-compose (similar to this answer) in both my app module as well as my compose module, which the app module depends on. Before, I declared the activity compose dependency only in my compose module, not my app module.

This is what my setup looks like now:

// build.gradle (:app)
android {
    ...

    buildFeatures {
        compose true
    }

    composeOptions {
        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion Versions.compose
    }

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.8'
    }
}
dependencies {
    implementation project(':core')
    implementation project(':common-ui-compose')
    ...

    implementation Libs.AndroidX.Activity.activityCompose

// build.gradle (:common-ui-compose)
android {
    ...

    buildFeatures {
        compose true
    }

    composeOptions {
        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion Versions.compose
    }

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.8'
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation project(':core')
    ...
    implementation Libs.AndroidX.Activity.activityCompose
