What’s New in Hilt

Hilt is now stable!

This means that Hilt is ready for use in production. Thanks for all the feedback through our alpha and beta stages! From now on, Hilt will no longer have alpha/beta releases and instead will be released with the same process as Dagger.

New breaking changes

• In the rare case that an app is relying on an @EarlyEntryPoint usage in a library that is built using an older version of Hilt, the @EarlyEntryPoint will no longer be picked up, resulting in a runtime error in tests (production code will be unaffected). To fix, all upstream usages of @EarlyEntryPoint must be built using this version of Hilt or later. (27a2827)
• Hilt now checks that builds with @HiltAndroidApp do not depend on targets with @HiltAndroidTest and vice versa as this can cause confusion with which modules are included in which Dagger components. Hilt version 2.35.1 adds a flag to disable this check.

Bug fixes

• Fix an issue where internal Kotlin object modules were incorrectly depended on directly by the component, which could result in a build failure if the component did not have visibility to the module. (115eaac)
• Fix an issue in the Hilt Gradle Plugin where determining AGP version failed if the AGP version being used was older than 3.6. (0218653)
