If you are using the Compose Material3 version of TextField(), the placeholder parameter is a composable slot parameter, not a String. The same holds true if you are using the Compose Material version of TextField().

The documentation for Compose text fields demonstrates how to use placeholder, such as:

val usernameState = rememberTextFieldState()
TextField(
    state = usernameState,
    lineLimits = TextFieldLineLimits.SingleLine,
    placeholder = { Text("Enter Username") }
)
