This is basically an follow-up of https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/336842920.

Component used:

Version used:

Compose 1.6.8
Lifecycle 2.8.2
AGP 8.4.2

Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Android 14

We see the the following crashes directly at app start when using R8 (with default AGP 8.x fullMode enabled): IllegalStateException: CompositionLocal LocalLifecycleOwner not present

We saw the added proguard rules in https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/3105647/21/lifecycle/lifecycle-runtime-compose/proguard-rules.pro

Changing them to

-keep class androidx.compose.ui.platform.AndroidCompositionLocals_androidKt { *; }

fixes the crash.

So it seems the keep rule is currently not sufficient to make 2.8.2 compatible with Compose 1.6 when minify the build.
