A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hi all, I'm trying to introduce Optics to an existing Android project [...]

I went through the usual setup:
I added `kapt`, I added the dependencies:
```    implementation(platform("io.arrow-kt:arrow-stack:1.0.1"))
    implementation("io.arrow-kt:arrow-core")
    implementation("io.arrow-kt:arrow-optics")```

I added the classes:
```@optics
sealed class ContactInformation {
    companion object {}

    data class Email(val value: String) : ContactInformation()

    @optics
    sealed class Phone : ContactInformation() {
        companion object {}

        @optics
        data class MobilePhone(val number: String) : Phone() { companion object }

        @optics
        data class OfficePhone(val number: String) : Phone() { companion object }

        @optics
        data class HomePhone(val number: String) : Phone() { companion object }
    }

    data class HomeAddress(val street: String) : ContactInformation()
    object Pigeon : ContactInformation()
}

@optics
data class UserProfile(val name: String, val contact: ContactInformation) { companion object }```


I should be able to do this now right?
```UserProfile.contact.phone.modify(joe) { MobilePhone("1234567890") }```


I'm afraid the code generation does not happen :disappointed:

try adding `kapt "io.arrow-kt:arrow-meta:&lt;version&gt;"`, it worked for me

`kapt "io.arrow-kt:arrow-meta"` will work with arrow-stack I guess

Yup, Optics still needs `kapt` and the arrow-meta dependency included

<https://arrow-kt.io/docs/optics/#basic-setup>

ok, if I add this
```    implementation("io.arrow-kt:arrow-optics:1.0.1")
    kapt("io.arrow-kt:arrow-meta:1.0.1")```
it works :thumbsup:

this instead
```implementation(platform("io.arrow-kt:arrow-stack:1.0.1"))
implementation("io.arrow-kt:arrow-core")
implementation("io.arrow-kt:arrow-optics")```
is not enough :thumbsdown:

the documentation is a bit misleading tho

I got it working under maven :slightly_smiling_face: also don't forget to call `assemble` to actually generate the code
