Android unable to instantiate application ClassNotFoundException Hilt

Question

SOVLED

I had to take the migration steps from the Dagger 2.34 release note and remove the old androidx.hilt:hilt-lifecycle-viewmodel dependency. https://github.com/google/dagger/releases/tag/dagger-2.34

Old post:

I am working on an application using hilt dagger. It crashes and i dont know why. Checked a lot of topics on the internet but none of them helped me.

Manifest


MyApplication.kt
package com.example.runcontrol

import android.app.Application
import dagger.hilt.android.HiltAndroidApp

@HiltAndroidApp
class MyApplication: Application() {
}

When I remove @HiltAndroidApp here, it works fine until my app should run foreground service annotated with @AndroidEntryPoint which uses @Inject.
My build.gradle project
