This year, Android officially became Compose-first for building all UI, placing legacy Views into maintenance mode. For Google Play, that journey began back in 2020. Across an engineering footprint spanning nearly two decades and billions of users, migrating to Jetpack Compose was achieved through proven best practices, close collaboration with the core Compose team and continuous tooling evolution.
Discover how modernizing Google Play with Compose delivered measurable improvements in velocity and long-term stability. The session walks through connecting agentic Figma design workflows with Compose implementation, automating quality to prevent unnecessary recompositions and crafting expressive interfaces with dynamic color, rich typography and layered shapes. You will leave with tested strategies to triage bugs faster and scale your own Compose migration with confidence.
