Less guessing, more fixing ðŸ› ï¸ See how the new diagnostic stack trace mode in Jetpack Compose 1.10 helps you pinpoint issues faster. Great tip from Rebecca Franks 👇ðŸ½
Jetpack Compose executes your code in multiple different phases, which causes some parts of the @Composable function to be executed separately from each other. Crashes in these phases can result in stack traces that are hard to decipher 😩 Making it difficult to pinpoint the exact function or line of code that caused the crash. 💥 In Jetpack Compose version 1.10, you can set the diagnostic stack trace mode that collects source information even if your app has proguard applied. Check out the details here for more info on prerequisites, and the various modes available to you: https://lnkd.in/g2XyQuSP
