I love the workings you have provided, I followed the steps to migrate ksp for room/dagger successfully. Thanks for always keeping us ahead in the Android Game.

Thanks a lot. You're one of the best Android teachers!❤

❗Heads-up❗:
Make sure you declare the ksp plugin in root gradle but apply in app gradle.
If you don't declare it in root, you'll run into gradle issues.

Yeeey! Finally KSP is supported by Dagger-Hitl! 🥳

The source to check the compatible version of Kotlin supporting ksp version makes this video still useful 👍

android development is getting better and faster

[MegaRockandroll]

Do you have any issues with hilt testing? I'm getting lots of error. I guess since this is the first supported version there are many issues with testing.

Hey phillip, So I am using kotlin compiler version 1.9.10 and everything with KSP and other dependencies are set but when I try to implement Hilt dependencies just the ones you used here Im met with error "Unsupported class file major version 63"... Im using Hilt version 2.48.1

Why when we adding ksp at top level gradle in the end we marked it like apply false?

[EnelAlmonte]

@Philipp why you changed to compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_18

Should I consider move away from JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8?

[jimpauloovejera]

it would've been much better if you had display both kapt and ksp's build times

[zoltanbalazskozma]

Are you using a beta or canary version of Android Studio? On the latest stable version AGP 8.2.xx is not supported like you show here.

[phuang]

Thanks. Just few weeks ago I tried KSP but it seems it has problems with Dagger Hilt. There was warning saying something was not recognized. I'm glad that latest Dagger Hilt supports KSP.

[kalibra]

@Philipp let's say you want to keep databinding or something that doesn't support KSP yet, if we use Kapt for those and KSP for Room and Hilt, do we get some improvements in build times? or we only get faster builds if we give up on Kapt entirely?

[JeffreyLiu]

i tried it and it work for debug, bug release build has minify issue.

[safionweb]

Can we use both in our project? KAPT and KSP?

[animehub]

you did good, the only downside is that the version for the hilt compiler and plugin is now 2.50 and the need of jvm in the project gradle file for it to work

[aliveli]

how can we use KSP and Navigation component together? I get that error below;
Caused by: Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
