not sure if this is the right channel or not-> but I am seeking help with my dependencies, which is a huge mess. Why I came about this: chatgpt claims that my usage of ksp and versions could cause issues with my assisted factories for hilt that cause me to get no such method found, it recommended i start using kapt but doing this causes a bunch of cascading issues-

What i am seeking :
• are there any good tutorials on how to properly understand and manage dependencies on android, its always been an area that I just keep smashing it until it works and then hope for the best, but Id like to gain deeper understanding/mastery of those dependencies and understanding better pluggins and apply false and other such parameters.
• possibly if someone wants to volunteer for a video call I can share screen and walk you through the mess, though I know this is a big ask/not likely, so mostly the point above is my goal today.

I am on the same road, so what I started is learning Gradle from scratch, just implementing simple CLI app and expanding by adding my own plugins and tasks and reading official gradle documentation

Yes, your problem is not the Kotlin compiler (the channel you are asking in here) but Gradle, the build tool. There is a separate community slack for Gradle:
