is it possible to use KSP side by side with KAPT for now?

e.g:

1. Glide will use KSP
2. others still use KAPT (at least for library that still not supported using KSP)
if there’s a similar question for this, maybe anyone can refers me which thread (I’m unable to find the right keyword search for this)

Yes

[miqbaldc]

is there any example? I cannot find it in readme 🙏

you don't need an example - it just works. It does not require extra configuration, just apply both plugins as you need to.

That said - you're just making your build slower and if you have a KSP processor that works in kapt too, you're better off just using the kapt version only

[Zac Sweers]

One caveat is that there is no ordering guarantee either. They may even run in parallel

[miqbaldc]

Some obvious limitations that stood out to me early on:

Based on your articles here, concluded that nows (yet?) still not the right time to use it in productions?

[miqbaldc]

and also:

We did this with Moshi some time back

so the plugins/library maintainer have to publish a ksp supported or we ended up experiencing this instead?

KSP isn't stable, use at your own risk

[Zac Sweers]

moshi doesn't have a first-party ksp implementation yet. I have one in https://github.com/zacsweers/moshix, but use at your own risk for the same reasons

[Zac Sweers]

sidenote: blogpost authors don't normally go back and update old posts. That post is accurate only to the time of writing

[Zac Sweers]

if you have a production project and/or use kapt for anything else in it, I would suggest sticking with moshi's annotation processor

great, thanks a lot @Zac Sweers for the guidance
