Hilt Unsupported metadata version in Kotlin

I was tried to run my code in Kotlin 1.5.10 With plugin as

plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'kotlin-android'
id 'kotlin-kapt'
id 'dagger.hilt.android.plugin'

and dependencies as below

dependencies {
    ...
    //Dagger - Hilt
    implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.33-beta"
    kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.33-beta"
    implementation "androidx.hilt:hilt-lifecycle-viewmodel:1.0.0-alpha03"
    kapt "androidx.hilt:hilt-compiler:1.0.0-beta01"
    implementation 'androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-compose:1.0.0-alpha01'

    implementation 'com.android.support:palette-v7:28.0.0'

When I migrate to kotlin_version = "1.5.10", it just errors out stating

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 at dagger.internal.codegen.kotlin.KotlinMetadata.metadataOf(KotlinMetadata.java:206) at dagger.internal.codegen.kotlin.KotlinMetadata.from(KotlinMetadata.java:186) at java.base/java.util.HashMap.computeIfAbsent(HashMap.java:1133) ...

Can anyone help me? I spent a lot of time on it, your answer will help me a lot

I fixed it by updating my Hilt version

id 'com.google.dagger.hilt.android' version '2.48' apply false
implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.48"
kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.48"

I use Gradle version 8.10.2 and Kotlin 1.9.24

Even I have this error, I suggest a way put the exact version they are giving the documentation.

For kotlin 1.9.22:

plugins {
  ...
  id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.51.1" apply false
}

//in app.gradle

plugins {
  id("kotlin-kapt")
  id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android")
}

android {
  ...
}

dependencies {
  implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.51.1")
  kapt("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.51.1")
}

// Allow references to generated code
// I think this line is the GameChanger. I didn't see this in above response. suggestion and explanation are welcome..

kapt {
  correctErrorTypes = true
}

Hence the Error will be solved

I also got the similar error due incompatible versions of Kotlin and Hilt,

Following combination worked for me:

 kotlin_version =  '2.0.0'
 hilt_version = '2.51.1'

Go to https://dagger.dev/hilt/gradle-setup check Hilt currently version

Update: For now, you can use the newest version.

  • Kotlin:1.9.0 - Hilt:2.48
  • Kotlin:2.0.0 - Hilt:2.51.1

For Gradle version catalogs: You can use either ksp or kapt; for now, I use ksp.

Project-level build.gradle

plugins {
    /.../
    alias(libs.plugins.compose.compiler) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.ksp) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.dagger.hilt) apply false
}

App-level build.gradle

plugins {
    /.../
    alias(libs.plugins.compose.compiler)
    alias(libs.plugins.ksp)
    alias(libs.plugins.dagger.hilt)
}

libs.versions.toml

[libraries]
/.../
hilt = { group = 'com.google.dagger', name = 'hilt-android', version = '2.51.1'}
androidx-hilt = { group = 'androidx.hilt', name = 'hilt-navigation-compose', version = '1.2.0'}
hilt-android-compiler = { group = 'com.google.dagger', name = 'hilt-compiler', version = '2.51.1' }

[plugins]
/.../
compose-compiler = { id = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose", version.ref = "kotlin" }
ksp = { id = "com.google.devtools.ksp", version = "2.0.0-1.0.23" }
dagger-hilt = { id = "com.google.dagger.hilt.android", version = "2.51.1" }

If anyone still facing this issue related to not matching version of kotlin and hilt here is the latest version of hilt vs kotlin that is working for me

project level:

plugins {
    id("com.android.application") version "8.1.2" apply false
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version "1.9.0" apply false
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.50" apply false
}

app level:

plugins {
    ...
    id("kotlin-android")
    id("kotlin-kapt")
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android")
}

kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "17"
    }

dependencies {

    implementation("androidx.core:core-ktx:1.12.0")

    implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.6.2")
    implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:2.6.2")

    implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.50")
    kapt("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.50")
    kapt("androidx.hilt:hilt-compiler:1.0.0")
    implementation("androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-fragment:1.0.0")

}

I wasted around 30 hr just to figure out proper latest version and compatibility where I was stuck with the same reported error. hope this will help someone!

ps- update version from 2.48.1 to 2.50

Solution for Kotlin Gradle: (for Groovy just use same versions)

This problem is arised basically when your Kotlin version is incompatible with the Kotlin version used in Hilt. So it's not a big deal. Just adjust the versions and that's it šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

In your root level Gradle file match the following versions:

plugins {
    id("com.android.application") version "8.2.0" apply false
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version "1.9.23" apply false
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.51.1" apply false
    id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version "1.9.23-1.0.20" apply false
}

and in your app level Gradle file match the following versions for all of those dependencies.

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android")
    kotlin("kapt")
    id("com.google.devtools.ksp")
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android")
}

dependencies {
    // Hilt
    implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.51.1")
    kapt("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.51.1")
    implementation("androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-compose:1.2.0")
}

I also mentioned ksp versions along with Hilt and Kotlin because someone may need to use also use ksp in their project which also related to the Kotlin version.

So i am getting the same issue and after a lot of time spend i got to knew it's only version issue. If you are using kotlin version

id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version "1.9.0" apply false

You can find it in your project level gardle.

The hilt version should be in project level gradle

    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.48" apply false

and in app level gradle it should be

 implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.48")
 kapt("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.48")

My solution: if you use dagger 2 and hilt in one project, you should keep versions the same

hiltVersion = '2.48.1'
daggerVersion = '2.48.1'

I have face this issue twice,

So two possible solution for this problem:

Case 1: If you are using new version of Android such as 1.8 or 1.9

Simply update the version of dagger.hilt into the new one 2.48

Classpath:

plugins {
     id "com.google.dagger.hilt.android" version "2.42" apply false
}

and dependency :

 implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.48"
    kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.48"

Case 2: If you are using previous version of Android such as 1.7 or less than you have to make sure that the classpath and dependency version match, in my case the error was because of different version.

Mismatch:

Classpath:

plugins {
    id "com.google.dagger.hilt.android" version "2.42" apply false
}

and dependency :

 implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.48"
    kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.48"

Correct:

Classpath:

plugins {
    id "com.google.dagger.hilt.android" version "2.42" apply false
}

and dependency :

 implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.42"
   kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.42"

Updated: Kotlin DSL

Using dagger version 2.48 with ksp also resolved this issue. Using Java version 17.

build.gradle.kts (project)

plugins {
    ...

    id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version "1.9.10-1.0.13" apply false
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.48" apply false
}

build.gradle.kts (app)

plugins {
   ...   

   id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android")
   id("com.google.devtools.ksp")
}

...

dependencies {
   ...

   implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.48")
   ksp("com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.48")
}

Old Solution

I resolved the error by updating the dependency version to the latest version and adding this additional dependency. I am using java version 17.

kapt "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-metadata-jvm:0.5.0"

build.gradle (Project Level)

plugins {
   ...

   id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.8.20' apply false
   id 'com.google.dagger.hilt.android' version '2.48' apply false
}

build.gradle (App Level)

plugins {
   ...   
   
   id 'kotlin-kapt'
   id 'com.google.dagger.hilt.android'
}

...

dependencies {
   ...

   implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.48"
   kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.48"
   kapt "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-metadata-jvm:0.5.0"
}

kapt {
    correctErrorTypes true
}

Here how i solved the error:

If you are using Kotlin 1.9.0 then use hilt 2.48

Make these Updates in Hilt version:

in Project-level build.gradle

    plugins{
id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.48" apply false
}

in App-level build.gradle

 plugins{
 id ("kotlin-kapt")
    id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android")
}

dependencies{
     implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.48")
        kapt("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.48")
    }

In my case it turned out that the Hilt version in the implementation and the classpath were different, making them the same solved the issue. A good practice should be using a version variable.

They were like this: In the build.gradle file of the app module

implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.39.1" In the build.gradle file of the project

classpath 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.40.1'

check the hilt_version_one is same to hilt_version_two

I get the problem , when my two version is different .

id 'com.google.dagger.hilt.android' version "$hilt_version_one" apply false
implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:$hilt_version_two"
kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:$hilt_version_two"

In my case, the problem was caused by different versions specified in the dependencies:

  • 2.40 in classpath 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin'
  • 2.43.2 in implementation 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android'

If you use kotlin version 1.8.0 then

in Project-level build.gradle change hilt version

id 'com.google.dagger.hilt.android' version '2.44' apply false

In App-level build.gradle

implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.44"
kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.44"

You can use

kotlin_version = "1.8.10"
hilt_version = "2.45"

That are the newest versions

implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:$hilt_version"
kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:$hilt_version"


Kotlin version 1.7.0

Project level gradle
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.0"

For Kotlin 1.7.10, you just need to make the hilt versions 2.42.

I got the same error. I changed two gradle files and It worked for me.

Project Gradle

plugins {
   
    //    dependencies for dagger hilt
    id 'com.google.dagger.hilt.android' version '2.42' apply false

}

Module Gradle

dependencies {

    implementation 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.42'
    kapt 'com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.42'
    implementation("androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-fragment:1.0.0")

}

If any solution solved your problem. Go to https://dagger.dev/hilt/gradle-setup, in Using Hilt with Kotlin section, copy the version mentioned in dependencies and update your build.gradle accordingly

}
repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()

general solution - in AS build console click link at bottom - build with -stacktrace param and find which annotation processor (KAPT) is causing error - then try to update dependency - if you are lucky new version should be available and supporting your gradle version

message in build output you should lookin for

Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or 
--debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.
