I have created a composable called ResolveAuth. ResolveAuth is the first screen when user opens the app after Splash. All it does is check whether an email is present in Datastore or not. If yes redirect to main screen and if not then redirect to tutorial screen

Here is my composable and viewmodel code

@Composable
fun ResolveAuth(resolveAuthViewModel: ResolveAuthViewModel, navController: NavController) {

Scaffold(content = {
    ProgressBar()

    when {
        resolveAuthViewModel.userEmail.value != "" -> {
            navController.navigate(Screen.Main.route) {
                popUpTo(0)
            }
            resolveAuthViewModel.userEmail.value = null
        }
        resolveAuthViewModel.userEmail.value == "" -> {
            navController.navigate(Screen.Tutorial.route) {
                popUpTo(0)
            }
            resolveAuthViewModel.userEmail.value = null
        }
    }
})
}


@HiltViewModel
class ResolveAuthViewModel @Inject constructor(
    private val dataStoreManager: DataStoreManager): ViewModel(){

    val userEmail = MutableLiveData<String>()

    init {
        viewModelScope.launch{
           val job = async {dataStoreManager.email.first()}
           val email = job.await()
            if(email != ""){
                userEmail.value = email
            }
        }
    }

}

But I keep getting an exception saying

java.lang.IllegalStateException: You cannot access the NavBackStackEntry's ViewModels until it is added to the NavController's back stack (i.e., the Lifecycle of the NavBackStackEntry reaches the CREATED state).

I am using below jetpack lib for navigation

 implementation("androidx.navigation:navigation-compose:2.4.0-rc01")

There is no issue in my Main and Tutorial screen as I tried to run them separately and it works fine.
