The new major version of androidx.tracing is now available on Google Maven. We’ve spent the last year optimizing it, so it's extremely low overhead.
The documentation is available at: developer.android.com/topic/perfor...
Happy Tracing!

I'm seeing more and more instances of "we don't look at compiler output, so when LLMs generate code, we don't need to look at the output"
LLMs are not compilers. With a compiler, you provide a highly detailed spec and know exactly what you are getting.

👀 Want to see a preview of what's coming up in #JetpackCompose?
We heard you that debugging shared elements is tricky. In 1.11.0-alpha03, a new composable LookaheadAnimationVisualDebugging was added.
Wrap your SharedTransitionLayout to add visual cues to track down those hard to debug issues. 🐛⤵️
