I am new to Android Development and the gradle errors always scares me. I tried to get help from Bard and Bing but nothing worked. So, you guys are my last resort. Please help me to resolve these errors. Feel free to ask for more information about the project in order to resolve the error.

Answer 1

I have a feeling (haven't dug too deep into it yet) that Dagger/Hilt version 2.48 are not compatible with somewhat outdated versions of Kotlin language (which is what you seem to be having, based on the content of your Gradle files).

You might need to bump

• org.jetbrains.kotlin.android to 1.9.10;
• com.google.devtools.ksp to 1.9.10-1.0.13;

You can keep Dagger/Hilt set to 2.48.1 and Room set to 2.6.0.

I just upgraded Room to 2.6.0 in the project I work on and these are the versions that I ended up having. Works like a charm, the exception that you mentioned is gone.

Upd. Yep, there is actually a discussion of that same issue on Google's issue tracker; the latest versions of Kotlin and KSP are required to use Room 2.6.0.

Answer 2

Try to keep the order of plugins as such

Module-level build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    id("dagger.hilt.android.plugin")
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android")
    id("kotlin-parcelize")
    id("com.google.gms.google-services")
    id("com.google.devtools.ksp")
}

App level build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    id("com.android.library") version "8.1.2" apply false
    id("com.android.application") version "8.1.2" apply false
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version "1.8.10" apply false
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.48" apply false
    id("com.google.gms.google-services") version "4.3.15" apply false
    id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version "1.8.10-1.0.9" apply false
}

I ran into the same issue you're mentioning while updating to hilt 2.48.1, downgrading was the only way I was able to resolve this.

Also as hata pointed out remove the id("com.android.library") from your module-level build.gradle.kts.

Answer 3

update kotlin to 1.9.10

composeOptions {
    kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion '1.5.3'
}

plugins {
    id 'com.android.library' version '8.1.2' apply false
    id 'com.android.application' version '8.1.2' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.9.10' apply false
    id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version "1.9.10-1.0.13" apply false
}

Answer 4

Hilt has a bug.

The key issue to solving it is to declare the ksp plugin in the root build.gradle and not apply it.

Full working configuration.

Root build.gradle

plugins {
    id("com.android.application") version "8.2.1" apply false
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version "1.9.10" apply false
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.48.1" apply false
    id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version("1.9.10-1.0.13") apply false
}

App module build.gradle

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android")
    id("com.google.devtools.ksp") // <------------- without version
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android")
}
