Removing the dependency on hilt-lifecycle-viewmodel causes the error to go away as it is no longer required in newer versions of hilt. Simply delete this line from your app level build.gradle file if you have it.

implementation ‘androidx.hilt:hilt-lifecycle-viewmodel:x.x.x’

Hmm, the androidx.hilt:hilt-lifecycle-viewmodel artifacts were deprecated in the Dagger 2.34 release in favor of native Hilt API. The missing DefaultActivityViewModelFactory class is no longer in the Hilt codebase.

You should be able to fix this using the instructions in the 2.34 release notes to upgrade to the new HiltViewModel API.
