Jetpackcompose 1.1.1. Modifier.align doens't exist anymore - kotlin

Question

I have upgrade my projet to jetpack compose 1.1.1, together with Kotlin 1.6.10 and 7.1.2 upgrade of datastudio.
From then, Android studio throws an error when trying to use Modifier.align(..).
I checked the release notes of jpc, and can't find any information that align() is depreciated.
Can't understand what is wrong here
without .align, the project is buidling fine, but I can no longer align a button at the botton of the screen :-(
my projet build.gradle
buildscript {
ext {
compose_version = '1.1.1'
nav_version = "2.4.1"
}
dependencies {
classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.10'

I just tried your code with Jetpack Compose 1.0.1 version and it didn't work there too. You can wrap your button inside Column, Row or Box.
Box(
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
contentAlignment = Alignment.BottomCenter
) {
Button(
modifier = Modifier
.padding(24.dp),
onClick = {
}
) {
Text(text = "Add one")
}
}
