UPDATE: Based on Ian Lake's suggestion, I have applied following rule to AndroidManifest.xml

<provider
    android:name="androidx.work.impl.WorkManagerInitializer"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.workmanager-init"
    tools:node="remove" />

I have analyzed the APK, and androidx.work.impl.WorkManagerInitializer provider is no longer there after manifests are merged.

However, I am still getting same error.

Attached

• Updated patch file
• WorkManager debug log

On a side note, I believe the reference to "Remove the default WorkManager initializer" should be mentioned in the "Inject WorkManager with Hilt" training guide at https://developer.android.com/training/dependency-injection/hilt-jetpack#workmanager

Created brand new Android project to reproduce this issue. Attached dagger-hilt-aosp-issue-158843197.zip

A snapshot of all the key files in that project is hosted on GitHub gist (may save a few minutes if you don't want to open the project)

Filed another issue https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/158891026 to fix documentation mentioned at comment#4

Dany, do you mind triaging this? It's about Hilt docs, not WorkManager.

Sorry, I meant it's about Hilt docs and code* since something is going wrong in the Hilt-provided WorkerFactory.

Thanks for sharing a sample app in comment#4, looking at your build.gradle it seems you are missing a dependency:

// Hilt dependencies
implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:$hilt_version"
implementation 'androidx.hilt:hilt-work:1.0.0-alpha01'
kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:$hilt_version"
kapt 'androidx.hilt:hilt-compiler:1.0.0-alpha01' // ADD THIS LINE

Add kapt 'androidx.hilt:hilt-compiler:1.0.0-alpha01' to your app's build.gradle and it should work.

Thanks! sorry I missed that line from the guide. It's working now with the dependency above. The issue can now be closed.
