With 1.0.0 to achieve autofocus you can use:

DisposableEffect(Unit) {
    focusRequester.requestFocus()
    onDispose { }
}

In this way the system grants focus to the component associated with this FocusRequester. For example:

val focusRequester = FocusRequester()
TextField(
    //...
    modifier = Modifier
        // add focusRequester modifier 
        .focusRequester(focusRequester)
)
