[SOLVED] Getting issue dependency was found while adding dagger hilt

Getting issue dependency was found while adding dagger hilt

I am running a project with Jetpack Compose. And I'm using Kotlin DSL. And I added the dagger hilt to my project and I'm having an issue with the project.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The Hilt Android Gradle plugin is applied but no com.google.dagger:hilt-android dependency was found.

dagger-hilt-android = { id = "com.google.dagger.hilt.android", version.ref = "hilt" }
devtools-ksp = { id = "com.google.devtools.ksp", version.ref = "ksp" }

hilt version is 2.44 or 2.51.1 and 1.9.20-1.0.14 I tried with the difffent version of ksp also.

Add plugin on main build.gradle.kts

alias(libs.plugins.dagger.hilt.android) apply false
alias(libs.plugins.devtools.ksp) apply false

Add plugin on the app build.gradle.kts

alias(libs.plugins.devtools.ksp)
alias(libs.plugins.dagger.hilt.android) // If I add this in a plugin I'm getting the error.

When I'm building the project getting issues

A problem occurred configuring project ':app'. The Hilt Android Gradle plugin is applied but no com.google.dagger:hilt-android dependency was found.

And I follow those steps too - Dependency injection with Hilt

Solution

We need to add the dependency at the same time while adding plugins. It will not work with the adding plugins only. Thank you to Chirag Thummar

Add dependencies

hilt-android = { group = "com.google.dagger", name = "hilt-android", version.ref = "hilt" }
hilt-android-compiler = { group = "com.google.dagger", name = "hilt-android-compiler", version.ref = "hilt" }

Add bellow code on app level build.gradle.kts too.

dependencies {
    implementation(libs.hilt.android)
    ksp(libs.hilt.android.compiler)
}
