'"The compiler option dagger.hilt.android.internal.projectType is not a recognized Hilt option" - Android Hilt with multi module project

I have a project and recently we converted the project to a multi module. However I could not run the module it gives me this error.

I think I made something wrong with the dependencies and some configurations. Following is my app/build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'com.android.library'
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
    id 'com.google.protobuf'
    id 'kotlin-kapt'

    id 'kotlin-android-extensions'

}
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

@HiltAndroidApp
class MyApplication: Application()

I can post other files if you need to see. Now I did not want to make it look complicated. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • As I wrote in my comment, first I updated libraries so they match in all build.gradle files. In this case it gave another error. Then I opened an issue to dagger github repo and they answered like this:

    Application class annotated with @HiltAndroidApp has to be defined in an android application project

    This means that your @HiltAndroidApp annotated class is currently defined in a library module (i.e. a build.gradle file with plugins { id 'com.android.library' }, which is not allowed. Instead, you need to move that class into the application module (i.e. a build.gradle file with plugins {id 'com.android.application'}.

    So lastly we moved the application class to module dev and also we put an application class inside of the library module too but we did not add @HiltAndroidApp. So it looks like this (library module):

    class MyApplication

    And application module:

    @HiltAndroidApp
class MyApplication: Application()

    And obviously we adjusted manifest files too. Also we got several errors too but we fixed them by searching from google. Key part was adding hilt application class inside of the dev/module. I hope it helps who has similar issues.
