Android Studio – Not showing Deploy Preview button in Android Studio for com.android.library modules

I’m probably missing something obvious but I’m unable to show the Deploy Preview button in my Android Studio.

enter image description here

However if I open the Android Compose Samples I see them.

I checked their dependencies and applied them to my app, but I’m still not able to see them.

implementation "androidx.compose.runtime:runtime:1.1.0-rc01"
implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:1.1.0-rc01"
implementation "androidx.compose.foundation:foundation:1.1.0-rc01"
implementation "androidx.compose.foundation:foundation-layout:1.1.0-rc01"
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.1.0-rc01"
implementation "androidx.compose.animation:animation:1.1.0-rc01"
implementation 'androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.1.0-rc02'
debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-manifest:1.1.0-rc01"

What am I missing to make this deploy preview show?

Edit

To be clear I’m able show previews no problem.
But no deploy preview button.

enter image description here

Edit 2

I noticed that the button is only appearing in 'com.android.application' modules and not in 'com.android.library' modules ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    This behaviour is only visible in an Android library.

    plugins {
    id 'com.android.library'
    ...
}

android {
    compileSdk 31

    defaultConfig {
        minSdk 21
        ... 
...

    This is a known bug in Android Studio.

    Unfortunately it is not documented anywhere except for this issue.
    It has been fixed in Chipmunk Canary 2

    Did you enable it on the experimental panel in AS settings?

    Also, I believe you’re missing the preview dependency
    implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:$compose_version"
