Hi Marco, thank you for the report. We will take a look.

The beta 1 sdk_gphone build won't automatically enable the change even the screen is sw600dp or greater. Future betas and the final release candidate will automatically enable the change if the screen is sw600dp or greater.

You can enable the forced change manually in one of the following two ways:

• With adb shell: Run device_config put window_manager ignore_activity_orientation_request true to enable the change for all apps.
• With Settings: enter "app info" -> "aspect ratio" -> "full screen" to enable the change for one app.

Its own doc explicitly calls out that it's R8-safe to include (i.e. it's ok for R8 to strip it out), so I kind of feel it should just be enabled by default. Strongly agree it should just be handled by the compose compiler gradle plugin too, feels odd that control of everything but this flag moved to it.

Thanks. I'll discuss with the folks at Jetbrains.

Sorry one more issue that's arisen out of this that I'm hoping could lead y'all to consider cherrypicking this fix back to 8.7.x: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/372062075

Any update on this issue or if there's a workaround for the time being, without changing the variant of the sub modules/projects.

This issue hasn't been fixed yet, but can you try the following as a temporary workaround:

kotlin {
    compilerOptions {
        freeCompilerArgs.addAll(
            "-P",
            "plugin:androidx.compose.compiler.plugins.kotlin:sourceInformation=true"
        )
    }
}

This has been fixed in AGP 8.10.0-alpha02. See here and here.

Here is the new behavior:

• If the Compose Compiler Gradle plugin (CCGP) version is >= 2.1.20-Beta2:
  • AGP will not add the sourceInformation flag at all
  • CCGP will add the flag by default unless the composeCompiler.includeSourceInformation DSL is set to false.
• Else:
  • AGP will add the sourceInformation flag for all build types (not just debug)
