There seems to be some dependency conflicts here, can you provide a minimal build.gradle to reproduce it?

Okay, will check this later.

Issue confirmed, there is a conflict between accompanist libs, chiptextfield, and androidx.compose.ui:ui-viewbinding:1.6.0-alpha08. Use stable Compose lib versions to solve:

-implementation("androidx.compose.ui:ui-viewbinding:1.6.0-alpha08")
+implementation("androidx.compose.ui:ui-viewbinding")

-implementation("com.google.accompanist:accompanist-webview:0.33.2-alpha")
+implementation("com.google.accompanist:accompanist-webview:0.32.0")

-implementation("com.google.accompanist:accompanist-permissions:0.23.1")
+implementation("com.google.accompanist:accompanist-permissions:0.32.0")

I'm experiencing this issue as well with Compose 1.6.0-beta02, and have found that the following issue comment can be used to resolve the issue for now: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android/issues/7184#issuecomment-1776245431

One possible workaround for apps that are facing this issue:

in app/src/main/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/platform/LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.kt put this bridge:

package androidx.compose.ui.platform

import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable

// Used by Stripe Android SDK
// Work around for https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android/issues/7184
// This existed as Experimental in Compose 1.5, but was moved to a val in in Compose 1.6
@Suppress("unused")
object LocalSoftwareKeyboardController {
    val current
        @Composable
        get() = LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current
}

(The linked comment also explains why such an exception occurred)

Just for the next developer who comes along as lost as I was:

Step 1: Create a path in your project -> app/src/main/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/platform (For me I had to create "/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/platform"

Step 2: Create the LocalSoftwareKeyboardController class in that directory and copy the above code into it.

Step 3: You did it! Have a drink and stop hitting your head on the table.
