Hilt incompatible with Kotlin to 1.9

[santiwanti]

Updating Kotlin to 1.9 causes a build error when using Hilt 2.44

error: [Hilt] Unsupported metadata version. Check that your Kotlin version is >= 1.0: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unsupported metadata version. Check that your Kotlin version is >= 1.0 at dagger.internal.codegen.kotlin.KotlinMetadata.metadataOf(KotlinMetadata.java:206) at dagger.internal.codegen.kotlin.KotlinMetadata.from(KotlinMetadata.java:186) at java.base/java.util.HashMap.computeIfAbsent(HashMap.java:1133) ...

You'll need to update Hilt to 2.46 or higher where the kotlinx-metadata-jvm is updated to support newer Kotlin versions.

I have increased the version from 2.44 to 2.46 but it is not syncing with this version.

[jens-muenker]

I have the same problem with the newest version.

[Chang-Eric]

@Frosch2010 do you have more details you can share? E.g. stacktrace and versions

[jens-muenker]

@Chang-Eric thanks for your response. I fixed it now. I figured out that I used different versions. I used 2.44 for the Gradle plugin and the newest version in the dependencies. Now are both the same and it works.

if your kotlin version is 1.9.22 set your hilt version to 2.46 and it will work fine .

[maulik22995]

This also worked for me if you set everything to latest :

composeOptions { kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion = "1.5.9" }

check out kotlin compatibility with kotlin compiler : https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-kotlin#pre-release_kotlin_compatibility

kotlin is 1.9.0 set hilt version to 2.46 and it is working.

Gradle plugin:

id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.50" apply false

Dependency:

implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.50")
kapt("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.50")

Notice that the versions are the same for both the plugin and dependencies.

Just update everything to latest for hilt and Kotlin (1.9 and above) and it will work fine.
hilt = "2.51.1"
hiltCompiler = "2.51.1"
kotlin = "1.9.23"

[shivvrat12]

id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.51.1" apply false

composeOptions {
    kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion = "1.5.13"
}

[versions]
agp = "8.4.2"
hiltAndroidCompiler = "2.51.1"
hiltAndroid = "2.51.1"
kotlin = "1.9.23"

Still facing the same issue damn hilt setup sometime is so irritating
