JetBrains has released Compose Multiplatform 1.10.0, the latest version of the Kotlin-based declarative framework for building shared UIs across multiple platforms. Unveiled January 13, the update supports automatic resizing for native interop elements on both desktop and iOS deployments.
Resizing of these elements means they now can adapt their layout to their content, eliminating the need to calculate exact sizes manually and specify fixed dimensions in advance. On the desktop,SwingPaneladjusts its size based on the embedded component’s minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes. For iOS, UIKit interop views now support sizing according to the view’s fitting size (intrinsic content size). This enables proper wrapping of SwiftUI views (via UIHostingController) and basic UIView subclasses that do not depend on NSLayoutConstraints.
Instructions on getting started with Compose Multiplatform can be found at kotlang.org. Compose Multiplatform is an optional UI framework built atop Kotlin Multiplatform technology, for building applications for different platforms and reusing code. Compose Multiplatform applications will run on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and the web.
