The Hilt Android Gradle plugin can only be applied to an Android project.

I'm facing this exception as I update the dagger hilt version to 2.53 or above, it's working fine till 2.52

The Hilt Android Gradle plugin can only be applied to an Android project.

[libraries]

hilt-android = { module = "com.google.dagger:hilt-android", version.ref = "dagger-hilt" }
hilt-compiler = { module = "com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler", version.ref = "dagger-hilt" }

[plugins]

dagger-hilt = { id = "com.google.dagger.hilt.android", version.ref = "dagger-hilt" }

Upon debugging the issue, I found out that the exception goes away if I remove this dependency from buildSrc

dependencies {
//    implementation(libs.gradle.android.api)
}

gradle-android-api = { module = "com.android.tools.build:gradle-api", version.ref = "gradle-android" }

Why this is closed? I need solution to it as it work untill 2.52 version.

Sorry, I read through this too fast and thought you had fixed it.

Are you applying the plugin to a non-Android project? If not, what version of AGP are you using? Note that in 2.53 the minimum version of AGP increased to 8.1. https://github.com/google/dagger/releases/tag/dagger-2.53

No, I'm applying the gradle plugin only to my main app module. And the AGP version is 8.6.1

Basically I have custom code for creating buildTypes in my project buildSrc which requires gradle api dependency. The error comes when i update my dagger hilt version to 2.53 and if i remove the dependency of gradle api it get resolved.

Can you share how you are applying the Hilt Gradle Plugin or if you have it as a dependency? Is it only at the app module and not the buildsrc? Do you also happen to have it in the top-gradle project with an apply false?
