This was fixed by aosp/1331903 and will be available in the Lifecycle 2.3.0-alpha04 release.

There was a use of a lint version that was too new to work in older studio versions. This has now be fixed and will be released in the Lifecycle 2.3.0-alpha06 release.

Getting this again in AGP 8.2.2 and Gradle 8.6, please see the attached image file.

Just found out that the issue comes after updating androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx from 2.7.0 to 2.8.0.

Using AGP 8.5.1 with Gradle 8.7 makes the latest occurrence of this go away for me (with androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx 2.8.4).

This has come back using on AGP 8.7.0-alpha09 (starting maybe with alpha05 according to my build history? maybe alpha04?).

I'm using Gradle 8.9 as well, if that matters.

Thanks for the workaround!

the option 2) will not work with compose navigation component, right ? As the lib also provides a LocalLifecycleOwner and 3) will not work for any library that uses LocalLifecycleOwner internally.

Yes, you would need to also include it on each navigation page (composable() route).

3. will not work for any library that uses LocalLifecycleOwner internally.

Yes.

For the record, the new dropUnlessResumed and dropUnlessStarted APIs won't work with Navigation 2.7 out of the box. Similar to the fix above, the new LocalLifecycleOwner needs to be explicitly assigned to the NavBackStackEntry in every composable() route.

composable(...) { navBackStackEntry ->
  CompositionLocalProvider(
    androidx.lifecycle.compose.LocalLifecycleOwner provides navBackStackEntry
  ) {
    MyScreen(
      onBackClick = dropUnlessResumed { navController.popBackStack() }
    )
  }
}

Comment #14 seems to work when collecting a stateflow from a viewmodel :)

The release notes of Lifecycle stated that "lifecycle-*:2.8.0 requires a minimum Compose version of 1.7.0-alpha05". However when I run ./gradlew app:dependencies --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath I couldn't find any Compose library resolved to alpha versions, the highest version was 1.6.5.

Is the statement correct? Or do I misinterpret it?

@ comment #17:

Lifecycle does not have a transitive dependency on Compose since it's not strictly related to Compose. It's more like Compose 1.7 has been adjusted to Lifecycle 2.8.0. So you need to explicitly update your Compose dependencies.

comment#17:

lifecycle-runtime-compose 2.8.* does not explicitly depend on compose-ui 1.7.* but there is a behavior compatibility issue between the versions - meaning standard POM dependency version checks will not detect the problem.

To understand the issue better, let’s go step by step on what happened:

• We have introduced a new LocalLifecycleOwner inside lifecycle-runtime-compose.
• We have inverted the dependency between compose-ui and lifecycle-runtime-compose.
  • Before: lifecycle-runtime-compose - depends on -> compose-ui.
  • After: compose-ui - depends on -> lifecycle-runtime-compose.
• We have changed the “old” LocalLifecycleOwner from compose-ui to return the new one in lifecycle-runtime-compose for binary compatibility.
  • compose-ui 1.6.*, sets up the “old” LocalLifecycleOwner at runtime.
  • compose-ui 1.7.*, sets up the “new” LocalLifecycleOwner at runtime.
• lifecycle-runtime-compose 2.7.* needs the “old” LocalLifecycleOwner.
• lifecycle-runtime-compose 2.8.* needs the “new” LocalLifecycleOwner.

Now, when combining compose-ui 1.6.* and lifecycle-runtime-compose 2.8.* or compose-ui 1.7.* and lifecycle-runtime-compose 2.7.*, they will reference to different LocalLifecycleOwner instances at runtime.

Since there's no direct dependency between them, standard POM checks cannot detect this issue. A call chain analysis would have been required to identify the behavior incompatibility between stable versions.

Looking at the changelogs from lifecycle 2.8.1 I assume this fix was not released?

Lifecycle 2.8.1 was released last week (May 29, 2024). The workaround was merged yesterday (June 4, 2024), so it is not included in version 2.8.1. Please note that the "Date: Wed May 29" in the CL header above is a metadata that indicates when the CL was created, not when it was merged.

We intend to include it in the very next release, Lifecycle 2.8.2.

The following release(s) address this bug.It is possible this bug has only been partially addressed:

• androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-compose:2.8.2
• androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-compose-android:2.8.2
• androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-compose-desktop:2.8.2

Can confirm, the issue reproduces on release build

Same for me too. I updated the Lifecycle lib to v2.8.2 and Compose BOM to v2024.06.00 which incorporate v1.6.8 of Compose libs. Still, the app got this exception and crashed, but only in the release mode and not in debug mode. Unfortunately, I got the crash in the production app after its release. After downgrading the Lifecycle lib to v2.7.0, it is working fine in the production app. Immediately, I had to release another patch version, so the users do not complain about app not working.

Comment #26, Comment #27, Comment #28, Comment #29, Comment #30:

We have received a similar report at b/346808608, where the author suggests a workaround (adding -keep class androidx.compose.ui.platform.AndroidCompositionLocals_androidKt { *; } to your ProGuard rules).

Although we have included a custom ProGuard rule as part of our fix, the rule is not working as intendend across all projects. We are currently investigating the problem, see here for more details.

I can confirm it's still an issue for me with Compose BOM "2024.06.00" and lifecycle 2.8.2.

I added these lines to proguard to fix the issue:

-if public class androidx.compose.ui.platform.AndroidCompositionLocals_androidKt {
    public static *** getLocalLifecycleOwner();
}
-keep public class androidx.compose.ui.platform.AndroidCompositionLocals_androidKt {
    public static *** getLocalLifecycleOwner();
}

Following up on the issue mentioned in comment#26: a fix for b/346808608 is scheduled to be included in our upcoming hot-fix release, version 2.8.3 -- for additional details, please refer to this comment.

Following up on the issue mentioned in comment#26: there was a mix-up, and the Lifecycle 2.8.3 artifacts won't be available until Monday.

Lifecycle 2.8.3 is now available on maven.google.com.

The following release(s) address this bug.It is possible this bug has only been partially addressed:

• androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-compose:2.9.0-alpha01
• androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-compose-android:2.9.0-alpha01
• androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-compose-desktop:2.9.0-alpha01
