Dagger 2.43 no longer compatible with Java 8, but release notes don't mention it

[Fiouz]

Summary

Dagger 2.43 (no Hilt) does not support Java 1.8 anymore

Context

Gradle 7.5 + JDK 1.8

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 7.5
------------------------------------------------------------

Build time:   2022-07-14 12:48:15 UTC
Revision:     c7db7b958189ad2b0c1472b6fe663e6d654a5103

Kotlin:       1.6.21
Groovy:       3.0.10
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.11 compiled on July 10 2021
JVM:          1.8.0_342 (Temurin 25.342-b07)
OS:           Windows 10 10.0 amd64

Dagger 2.43.1 (happens since 2.43)

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    `java-library`
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.dagger:dagger:2.43.1")
    annotationProcessor("com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.43.1")
}

tasks {
    wrapper {
        gradleVersion = "7.5"
    }
}

Expected behavior

https://github.com/google/dagger/releases/tag/dagger-2.43 only mentions Hilt as a breaking change regarding the new JDK 11 requirement:

• Either the release note should be updated to include Dagger itself for the scope of that breaking change (instead of only Hilt)
• Or Dagger should work with JDK 1.8

Actual behavior

Build does not work with JDK 1.8

Thanks! And sorry for not mentioning this in the release notes.

tl;dr is that Dagger 2.43 / 2.43.1 do require java 11, but the next version should go back to supporting java 8.

This requirement was due to one of our dependencies in androidx recently requiring java 11, but fortunately they were willing to revert back to targeting java 8 (https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/2170525/).

Sorry again for the confusion, I'll update the release notes to say something about this.

I have a same error using hilt 2.44 when using ktlint. How can I resolve it?

[bcorso]

@skw4223 can you post the exact error you're seeing?

[SseO-KR]

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: dagger/hilt/android/plugin/HiltGradlePlugin has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime on
ly recognizes class file versions up to 52.0
