My crossfade animations are no longer working since the release of Compose Alpha and I would really appreciate some help getting them working again. I am fairly new to Android/Compose. I understand that Crossfade is looking for a state change in its targetState to trigger the crossfade animation, but I am confused how to incorporate this. I am trying to wrap certain composables in the Crossfade animation.

Here are the official docs and helpful playground example, but I still cannot get it to work since the release of Alpha https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/package-summary#crossfade https://foso.github.io/Jetpack-Compose-Playground/animation/crossfade/

Here is my code, in this instance I was hoping to use the String current route itself as the targetState as a mutableStateOf object. I'm willing to use whatever will work though.
