The journey of adopting Jetpack Compose in Babbel’s App
summary
Babbel integrates Jetpack Compose into its existing app in six months, landing Compose 1.0.4 across the project by updating AGP to 7+ and applying a repository patch to unify dependencies. Teams convert screens and components, wire LiveData into Compose via observe-as-state patterns, and deploy UI components — resulting in two production releases and a claimed large cut in development time. The migration fits the current architecture and design system and it works.
