Fatal crash when using with jetpack compose

[dessalines]

Jetpack compose has the default mainactivity line:

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {, not AppCompatActivity.

    val ctx = LocalContext.current

            ImagePicker.with(ctx as Activity)
                .crop()	    			//Crop image(Optional), Check Customization for more option
                .compress(1024)			//Final image size will be less than 1 MB(Optional)
                .maxResultSize(1080, 1080)	//Final image resolution will be less than 1080 x 1080(Optional)
                .start()

Error:

it happened to me too @dessalines.

Just change your parent theme on res/value/theme to Theme.AppCompat.Light.xxxxx and don't forget to add AppCompact Dependency to Gradle
