The ComposeView adapter does not work in a variant other than debugging

Question

so the problem is i cannot see my preview of compose when set build variant different than debug. Any ideas how to enable this on different build variants? I tried add initWith(buildTypes.debug) but nothing change.

Got the same issue. It's funny but you have to add

[buildTypeName]Implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"

to app's level build.gradle to make it work for build type other than debug

//i.e. for [dev] build type:
devImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"
