Hi, has anyone encountered this issue with Kotlin 1.7.0 and Hilt?
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
How can I solve this?
using

implementation 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.42'
kapt 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.42'
kapt 'androidx.hilt:hilt-compiler:1.0.0'
classpath('com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.40.1')

Yes, I've seen this.

It looks like your hilt-android-gradle-plugin is an old version. First thing I'd try is upgrading that from 2.40.1 to 2.42.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, I'd try this workaround:

dependencies {
  // Not a processor, but forces Dagger to use newer metadata lib
  kapt "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-metadata-jvm:0.4.2"
}

Thanks Jim it worked updating hilt-android-gradle-plugin to 2.42

[Sergio C.]

strange thing that AS didn't suggest a new version

[Sergio C.]

where can we check the latest version of hilt-android-gradle-plugin?

@Sergio C. here for instance:
https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.google.dagger/hilt-android-gradle-plugin

thanks @Joffrey. was searching at Google's Maven repo

@Sergio C. In general, I think/presume hilt-android, hilt-android-compiler, and hilt-android-gradle-plugin are all released at the same time, and so their version numbers should always match.

@jim Thanks for the tip. Won't forget that next time.
