does

const val

inside

object

is known to have cache problems with builds? I'm having some with them, where defining them once seems to create some difficulties to alter (some string, for example) later. Or is it some android studio problem (and not a kotlin one)?

const

means the value is inlined on all callsite. If you edit the value, all downstream projects have to be recompiled to use it.

In theory, I am recompiling it (I guess rebuilding the project counts as recompiling it). But I'm gonna double check it next time. And yes, it is a private field

If it's private, I think this should be raised to the Kotlin team 🤔

I see, I'm gonna send them the issue next time it happens. I'm on the pain of cleaning up my gradle folders
