Hilt: Native function causing build fail: codeAttr must not be null

[xmyno]

Similar to #1955 having a native function inside a class marked with @AndroidEntryPoint causes the build to fail with the same error message mentioned in that issue.

Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithAndroidEntryPointTransformForDebug'.
> codeAttr must not be null

This is already fixed by 2099bad, the next released version of Hilt will contain this fix. As workaround for now, you can move your native method from the @AndroidEntryPoint-annotated class.

This is still reproductible in 2.29-alpha.
@AndroidEntryPoint class MyTestActivity : AppCompatActivity() { .... private external fun stringFromJNI(): String .... }

I can confirm that the error no longer occurs for me with version 2.29-alpha.

Also in 2.29.1-alpha is reproductible.
Execution failed for task ':classifier:transformClassesWithAndroidEntryPointTransformForDebug' > codeAttr must not be null

@catalin-florescu, I can't reproduce this issue with 2.29.1, can you confirm you are updating the Hilt Gradle Plugin (classpath 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.29.1-alpha')?

[catalin-florescu]

@danysantiago Well, i forgot to update Gradle plugin. When is available new version, please mention it on Latest release. Thanks.

@catalin-florescu, Dagger always releases all of its artifacts together.

A good best practice to avoid forgetting to update a particular dependency is to store the version in Gradle's property extensions and reference all of your dependencies like: "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:${daggerVersion}-alpha"

Edit: Also, just added a reference to #2065 in the 2.29.1 release notes, since we originally only referenced #1955.
