        classpath(app.web.drjackycv.buildsrc.Depends.ClassPaths.hilt_android_gradle_plugin)

Domain’s build.gradle:

plugins {
    id("com.android.library")
    kotlin("android")
    id("kotlin-parcelize")
    kotlin("kapt")
    id("dagger.hilt.android.plugin")

    id("com.android.library")
    kotlin("android")
    id("kotlin-parcelize")
    kotlin("kapt")
    id("androidx.navigation.safeargs.kotlin")
    id("dagger.hilt.android.plugin")

...
dependencies {
    //dependency injection
    implementation(Depends.Libraries.hilt_android)
    kapt(Depends.Libraries.hilt_android_compiler)
    kapt(Depends.Libraries.hilt_compiler)
    implementation(Depends.Libraries.java_inject)

And it doesn’t matter if I only use hilt_android_compiler or only hilt_compiler.

I’ve created a detailed issue to the Android Studio team regarding this issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/191717152

So far I haven’t found a workaround…
