When many friends rely on hilt, they find that their kotlin version (my suggestion is kotlin1.7.0) is too high, and it fails to compile. The expectation is version 1.5.1. I searched a lot on the Internet, but I can't solve this problem, or it is someone else's as Old, the dependency problem is easy to solve, but there is no solution to the version, and I have spent a lot of time thinking about it.
Above: 1. First rely on external libraries in the project's build.gradle, and define a dependent library directly on top of plugins. The location is as shown in the figure below
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.42'
}
}
2. Add the plugins you want to use in the plugins in the configuration file in the app's build.gradle, as shown in the figure
id 'kotlin-kapt'
id 'dagger.hilt.android.plugin'
3. Add it to the places where you usually add dependencies (dependencies), and compile it.
implementation 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.42'
kapt 'com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.42' 
, I am also using hilt for the first time. If I can communicate more with my friends, I will share my learning results when I have time.
Kotlin: 1.7.0 corresponds to Hilt: 2.42
Kotlin: 1.6.0 corresponds to Hilt: 2.40.5
Kotlin 1.5.21 corresponds to Hilt:2.38 compatible
