### What happened?

Android Studio version: Koala Feature Drop | 2024.1.2
Ref: 447cd7eba311c9cb4b4f302bf632fe8bd4e9784c (latest main branch as of this writing)

When trying to run a for example the NiaButtonPreview inside the `core:designsystem` package, I get this error:

```
Error: Run configuration NiaButtonPreview - Dark theme is not supported in the current project.
Cannot obtain the package.
```

The same issue appears for all the other previews in `core:designsystem`, but the previews in `core:ui` work fine.

Is this some limitation of Compose and/or Android Studio? As I can't really find any significant configuration changes between `core:ui` and `core:designsystem`, they both are direct dependencies of the app module.

### Relevant logcat output

_No response_

Research direction

Start by reproducing the NiaButtonPreview - Dark theme failure in Android Studio Koala and compare the core:designsystem previews with the working previews in core:ui, including how both modules are connected to the app module. Done means the core:designsystem previews can run on an emulator or device without the unsupported run-configuration error.
