java.lang.IllegalStateException: CompositionLocal LocalLifecycleOwner not present

I get an java.lang.IllegalStateException: CompositionLocal LocalLifecycleOwner not present error when I collectAsState() or collectAsStateWithLifecycle(). I do not know what is wrong. This previously worked, however since I made a switch and some dependencies update it stopped working. The error is as follows:

Not sure this is a problem but I recently switched from an Intel MacBook to an M1. Cloned my project and continued work where I left off then updated the dependencies since Android studio gave a hints there were updates.

My dependencies are as follows:

MainActivity.kt

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private val mainViewModel by viewModels<MainViewModel>()

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)


        setContent {
            val context = LocalContext.current
            val uiState by mainViewModel.uiState.collectAsStateWithLifecycle()

            App(
                closeApp = { this.finish() },
                appState = uiState,
            )
        }
    }
}

Solution

Update: The issue has been resolved in Lifecycle version 2.8.3 or above.

That error lines up with this issue, due to a mismatch of Compose and Lifecycle versions. You are using Lifecycle 2.8.0, which right now is incompatible with stable Compose versions. Once Compose 1.7.0 becomes stable, you can upgrade to use it with Lifecycle 2.8.0, and (hopefully) this problem goes away.

I recommend dropping back to Lifecycle 2.7.0 from the 2.8.0 that you are using now. Alternatively, you can try the documented workarounds.
