Koin inject viewmodel into Composable

Question

I am trying to use Koin to inject my viewModel (which has some dependencies as well) like this:

I don't understand why it cannot find getViewModel when I have the following import:

I am using this Koin version: implementation "io.insert-koin:koin-android:$koin_version"

where $koin_version = '3.2.0-beta-1'

Any thoughts why my import is ignored here?

You're using a wrong import, you should use:

import org.koin.androidx.compose.getViewModel

To use it you need the following dependency:

implementation("io.insert-koin:koin-androidx-compose:$koinVersion")

not working on Koin '3.2.1' and Android Studio Dolphin | 2021.3.1 – MohammadBaqer Sep 18 '22 at 14:35
Same for me in a Compose multiplatform project. The import does not work. Is that an Android only extension? – mipa Sep 21 '22 at 08:54
@mipa I guess so, as it requires `ViewModel` subclass which is android only – Phil Dukhov Sep 21 '22 at 17:55

Here's how I did it in koin 3.3.2

@Composable
fun HomeScreen(viewModel: PokemonViewModel = koinViewModel()) {
}

I also added koin-core to build.gradle(:app)

def koin_version = '3.3.2'
implementation "io.insert-koin:koin-core:$koin_version"
implementation "io.insert-koin:koin-android:$koin_version"
implementation 'io.insert-koin:koin-androidx-compose:3.4.1'
