Dagger does not support providing @AssistedInject types

I am using Hilt (v2.32-alpha) dependency injection with viewmodel. I have a class with 2 parameters, the first is context and the second is an optional string so if not provide any value this takes null. To achieve this in Hilt I read below doc: https://dagger.dev/dev-guide/assisted-injection.html

This is my code :

class SharedPreferencesHelper @AssistedInject constructor(
    context: Context,
    @Assisted sharedPreferencesName: String? = null
) { ... }

And Hilt Module :

@Module
@InstallIn(ViewModelComponent::class)
object WebServicesModule {

    @Provides
    fun provideSharedPreferencesHelper(@ApplicationContext context: Context): SharedPreferencesHelper =
        SharedPreferencesHelper(context)
}

AssistedFactory interface:

@AssistedFactory
interface MyAssistedFactory {
    fun create(sharedPreferencesName: String): SharedPreferencesHelper
}

And my viewmodel :

@HiltViewModel
class SplashViewModel @Inject constructor(
    application: Application,
    savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle,
    private val repository: SplashRepository
) : AndroidViewModel(application) {

    @Inject
    lateinit var assistedFactory: MyAssistedFactory

fun callSplashApi() {

        val preferencesHelper = assistedFactory.create("ss")
...
  }
}

But build fails with this error:

Dagger does not support providing @AssistedInject types.

@alizarei95, note that #2370 will allow you to provide a qualified @AssistedInject type, but we’re still not allowing an unqualified @AssistedInject type to be provided to avoid confusion.

Thus, you’ll have to provide your default type with a qualifier like, @Default.

You probably also want to provide the default via the factory rather than calling the constructor directly. For example:

@Module
@InstallIn(ViewModelComponent::class)
object WebServicesModule {
    @Provides
    @Default
    fun provideDefault(factory: MyAssistedFactory) = factory.create()
}

@AssistedFactory
interface MyAssistedFactory {
  fun create(sharedPreferencesName: String ?= null): SharedPreferencesHelper
}

**Also, note that the fix for #2370 is not yet included in a release. It should be out with the next Dagger release, 2.33.

Closing this as a dupe of #2370
