I'm following this article to collect flows in UI. But I couldn't resolve repeatOnLifeCycle API in my code. I have added the below dependency, though.
lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.4.0-alpha03
Please help

repeatOnLifecycle is a suspend function that takes a Lifecycle. State as a parameter which is used to automatically create and launch a new coroutine with the block passed to it when the lifecycle reaches that state , and cancel the ongoing coroutine that's executing the block when the lifecycle falls below the state .
The Lifecycle. repeatOnLifecycle API was primarily born to allow safer Flow collection from the UI layer in Android. Its restartable behavior, that takes into consideration the UI lifecycle, makes it the perfect default API to process items only when the UI is visible on the screen.
A LifecycleScope is defined for each Lifecycle object. Any coroutine launched in this scope is canceled when the Lifecycle is destroyed. You can access the CoroutineScope of the Lifecycle either via lifecycle. coroutineScope or lifecycleOwner. lifecycleScope properties.
It's notlifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.4.0-alpha03
but
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.4.0-alpha03

I hope this gradle config can help you.
def lifecycle_version = "2.4.0"
implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:$lifecycle_version")
implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:$lifecycle_version")
implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:$lifecycle_version")
implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-savedstate:$lifecycle_version")
implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-common-java8:$lifecycle_version")
With this set, i resolve "repeatOnLifecycle" with this import: import androidx.lifecycle.repeatOnLifecycle

I also had a similar issue. For me, adding the following in the dependencies section of the build.gradle file (the App Module one and not the Project one) helped to resolve the issue:
implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.4.0-alpha03"
I also removed the import androidx.lifecycle.Lifecycle that was already there in the problematic file and got Android Studio to import the right one just in case the old one was wrong.
Found the latest version number to use(i.e. the "2.4.0-alpha03" part) from the following link but I think Android Studio would have later given a hint on the latest version to upgrade to anyway even if I hadn't done this: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.lifecycle/lifecycle-runtime-ktx/2.2.0-alpha01

Note: These APIs are available in the lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.4.0-alpha01 library or later. lifecycle-runtime-ktx
