Gradle sync failing with Unable to load class 'com.google.devtools.ksp.gradle.KspTaskJvm' due to incompatible dependency versions.

Changes

  • Kotlin: 2.3.02.0.21 (Hilt 2.52 doesn't support Kotlin 2.3.0; downgraded to compatible version)
  • KSP: 2.3.02.0.21-1.0.25 (aligned with Kotlin version using correct format kotlin-version-ksp-plugin-version)
  • AGP: 8.13.28.5.2 (8.13.2 unavailable in Maven repos)
  • settings.gradle.kts: maven { url = uri("https://maven.google.com") }google() (idiomatic syntax)

All versions now properly aligned per the Android KSP migration guide.

Version Compatibility

Component Version Notes
Kotlin 2.0.21 Stable, compatible with Hilt 2.52
KSP 2.0.21-1.0.25 Matches Kotlin 2.0.21
Hilt 2.52 Supports Kotlin 1.9.0+ and 2.0.x
AGP 8.5.2 Compatible with Gradle 8.13

@copilot Still the same error:

  • What went wrong:
    A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

The KSP plugin was detected to be applied but its task class could not be found.

[Incubating] Problems report is available at: file:///home/runner/work/pick-a-name/pick-a-name/build/reports/problems/problems-report.html

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

This is an indicator that the Hilt Gradle Plugin is using a different class loader because
For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.13/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation.
it was declared at the root while KSP was declared in a sub-project. To fix this, declare
both plugins in the same scope, i.e. either at the root (without applying them) or at the
sub-projects.

See google/dagger#3965 for more details.

@copilot to fix the compilation errors follow this:

Make sure that you choose a KSP version aligned with your project's Kotlin version. -> https://developer.android.com/build/migrate-to-ksp

What worked in other projects:
In module:
val hilt_version = "2.48"

In project:

id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version "1.8.10" apply false //downgraded from 1.9.0 to 1.8.10
id("com.google.devtools.ksp") version "1.8.10-1.0.9" apply false
id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.48" apply false

...

Fixed in commit cacf07c. I've aligned the versions as you suggested:

  • Kotlin: 2.3.0 → 2.0.21 (compatible with Hilt 2.52)
  • KSP: 2.3.4 → 2.0.21-1.0.25 (proper format matching Kotlin version)

The KSP version now follows the correct pattern kotlin-version-ksp-plugin-version as specified in the migration guide.
