    In previous works, the author determined the \(v_1\)-periodic homotopy groups of all compact simple Lie groups. In this paper, he is doing the same for all remaining irreducible \(p\)-compact groups \((BX,X)\), classified by \textit{K. K. S. Andersen, J. Grodal, J. M. Møller} and \textit{A. Viruel} [Ann. Math. (2) 167, No.~1, 95--210 (2008; Zbl 1149.55011)]. If \(p\) is odd, the author proves that every irreducible \(p\)-compact group \(X\) has the homotopy type of a product of explicit spaces related to \(p\)-completed Lie groups. The most difficult part of this work concerns the modular case where \(p\) divides the order of the reflection group. For this case, the author introduces a direct path from the invariant polynomials to the \(v_1\)-periodic homotopy groups.
