Android Lint is a powerful tool for verifying the correctness or your code. It is highly recommended that you fix any identified lint errors before releasing your app to production.
Compose ships with a number of lint checks by default. This helps verify the correctness of your Compose code.
Minimum version requirement for Compose lint checks
To simplify compatibility and improve stability for lint check support, Compose 1.9 requires Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) / Lint version 8.8.2 or higher.
If you're using an AGP version lower than 8.8.2 and are unable to upgrade, you
can specify the lint version to use in your gradle.properties file:
android.experimental.lint.version = 8.8.2
Previously, the complex dependencies of Compose lint checks led to frequent compatibility issues and made it difficult to determine the correct tool versions (Android Studio, AGP/Lint, Compose).
Minimum version requirements for Compose, AGP, and Studio are as follows:
Compose Version |
Required AGP / Lint version |
Required Studio version |
1.9 |
8.8.2+ |
Ladybug+ |
1.8 |
8.6.0+ |
Koala Feature Drop -> Meerkat |
1.7 |
8.4.0+ |
Jellyfish -> Meerkat |
