Compile error - ComponentProcessingStep was unable to process from 2.57.2 onwards

[ndeka28]

Hi,

I am having issue compiling my code (multi-module app) after I upgraded to 2.57.2 and onwards. My initial dependency was 2.53.1 . The code compiles for upgrade until version 2.57.1. Here are my other libraries dependency:

Kotlin - 2.2.0
KSP - 2.2.0-2.0.2
AGP - 8.13.2
hilt - 2.57.2
hiltCompiler - 2.57.2

Error

error: ComponentProcessingStep was unable to process 'com.quidco.GroupApplication_HiltComponents.SingletonC' because 'coil3.ImageLoader' could not be resolved.

Here is my code

@EntryPoint
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
interface Coli3ImageLoaderEntryPoint {
    fun getCoil3ImageLoader(): ImageLoader
}

************************************************

val context = LocalContext.current
val imageLoader =
    EntryPointAccessors.fromApplication(
        context.applicationContext,
        Coli3ImageLoaderEntryPoint::class.java,
    ).getCoil3ImageLoader()

Can anyone please let me know if there any specific handling to be done from 2.57.2 onwards.

Thanks,
Nilanjana

This error happens at the application level when Hilt can't find a particular dependency on the classpath (in this case, coil3.ImageLoader). To fix this, you either need to add the dependency for coil3.ImageLoader directly to the application or change the dependency in the library from implementation to api.

Thanks @bcorso That works. But why the problem is not encountered in previous versions?
