Hey,

I am currently updating a compiler-plugin to 1.8 and I get following error: This API is not available after FIR when calling IrPluginContext.referenceClass .

Why is this an error and how do I fond out how to migrate to the new API?

If you just want to unblock yourself, you can add @OptIn(FirIncompatiblePluginAPI::class) which is what JetBrains is doing to upgrade the Compose compiler to 1.8: https://github.com/JetBrains/androidx/pull/369/commits/9fdfbf34973a06a744d46c17c08affc89ec354c4#diff-db0f368313678ee559634ea9c8820667f5430e6e592ef0cce31e67d59413912dR206

Also the inconsistency of casing acronyms in Fir and API really bothers me...

You didn’t link much detail but I suspect you’re using IrPluginContext.referenceClass(FqName) and the replacement is just to use IrPluginContext.referenceClass(ClassId). It’s pretty easy to update
