Room Renovations

" summary

Room now ships as Room KMP v2.70-alpha1 supporting Android, JVM desktop and native (iOS, macOS, Linux) and requires the Room Gradle plugin, KSP, schema export and common source sets; the recommended bundled SQLite driver embeds a consistent sqlite build while a framework driver can use OS SQLite. Migration is incremental: replace support-SQLite usages with sqlite driver APIs, convert DAOs to suspend/coroutines (use expect/actual for platform-only blocking APIs), and keep Room in compatibility mode until setDriver; rawQuery DAOs, prepackaged DBs, callbacks and multi-instance invalidation remain Android-only for now.
