" summary

Panel lays out concrete guidance: start greenfield apps 100% Compose with a single-activity and Navigation Compose; use state hoisting and ViewModel-backed StateFlow (LiveData only for legacy Java), extract long modifier chains into extensions, and prefer property drilling over CompositionLocal for required data. Compose adds manual accessibility traversal and is testing K2 experimental support and KSP (replacing kapt); accompanist acts as an incubator for APIs like pager and modal bottom sheets while shadow/blur support remains complex and under study.
