I can not get anvil to work with kotlin 1.7.20.
Does this require an anvil update to kotlin 1.7.20 or is there a different way to fix it?

Probably an Anvil release using ksp 1.7.20 compatible is needed.

[Paul Woitaschek]

But anvil isn’t using ksp?

[Javier]

Ah, I thought it was using ksp. Anyway this looks like the same problem when you are applying the version 1.7.20 to the KGP and 1.7.10 to the Kotlin Serialization plugin, both need the same version.

I think Anvil needs to update to Kotlin 1.7.20 (including its compiler plugin).

[Zac Sweers]

Anvil is working fine for us on 1.7.20

[Paul Woitaschek]

Hm, maybe its related to us applying kotlin-gradle-plugin-api in a plugin ourself 🤔

On Android it is working, on multiplatform it’s not

[Trevor Stone]

Has anvil ever worked with multiplatform?

[Paul Woitaschek]

Yes sure, why not?

[Javier]

where does it read the annotations, common, jvm and android? and common is generated on jvm?

[Trevor Stone]

I've never used it, but my understanding is that it is built upon dagger, dagger generates java code, java doesn't run on non jvm targets

[Trevor Stone]

I guess multiplatform can mean Android and desktop/jvm

[Paul Woitaschek]

We use it to generate the factories in the Android source set
