@BugsBunnyBR if this is an issue with ContentProviders calling before onCreate() you should be able to fix that issue by using an entry point instead of relying on field injection. For example:

@HiltAndroidApp
class MyApplication : Application(), Configuration.Provider {

    @EntryPoint
    @InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
    interface HiltWorkerFactoryEntryPoint {
        fun workerFactory(): HiltWorkerFactory
    }

    override fun getWorkManagerConfiguration() =
        Configuration.Builder()
            .setExecutor(Dispatchers.Default.asExecutor())
            .setWorkerFactory(EntryPoints.get(this, HiltWorkerFactoryEntryPoint::class.java).workerFactory())
            .setTaskExecutor(Dispatchers.Default.asExecutor())
            .setMaxSchedulerLimit(MAX_SCHEDULER_LIMIT)
            .build()
}

The entry point will take initiative to create the component if it’s not already created.

The original report sounds like #2784 is the cause. Closing this assuming that is the case.
