I have an application written in kotlin, jetpack compose. I have some items that I get from network and show in a lazy column. Now the problem is that when I build in debug mode, the data is laggy but it is shown. When I build a signed apk in release mode, every thing is smooth, but the lazyColumn is not shown.
It sounds like you may be encountering a performance optimization issue specific to release builds. Here are a few things you can check and try to resolve the problem:
Proguard/R8 Configuration: If youre using Proguard or R8 for code shrinking and obfuscation, its possible that they are removing or obfuscating some code that is necessary for the lazy column to function correctly. You may need to add Proguard/R8 rules to keep the necessary classes and methods intact. Check your Proguard/R8 configuration file (usually proguard-rules.pro or r8-rules.txt) and ensure that the necessary Compose classes are not being removed.
Resource Shrinking: Resource shrinking can sometimes remove unused resources, including layout files or drawables used by the lazy column. Make sure that the layout files and resources needed for the lazy column are not being removed during the build process.
Optimizations: Check if you have any optimizations or conditional logic in your code that behaves differently in debug and release builds. Sometimes, optimizations intended to improve performance in release builds can inadvertently cause issues with functionality.
Logging: If youre logging any debug information that may affect the layout or rendering of the lazy column, make sure that logging is disabled in release builds.
Memory Usage: Its possible that there may be a memory issue causing the lazy column items not to be displayed in release builds. Check the memory usage of your app in release mode and see if there are any spikes or excessive memory consumption.
Testing on Different Devices: Test your release build on different devices to see if the issue is device-specific. Its possible that the problem may only occur on certain devices due to hardware or software differences.
Update Dependencies: Make sure that you are using the latest versions of Jetpack Compose and any other dependencies in your project. There may be compatibility issues or bugs in older versions that have been fixed in newer releases.
By investigating these areas, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the lazy column items not to be displayed in release mode. If the problem persists, you may need to provide more specific information or code snippets for further assistance.
