Unable to instantiate application on path: DexPathList - kotlin

Question

I saw this problem and I don't know what caused it or how to solve it
Simply the application crashed with no reason and nothing weird!
this is the problem from logcat:

And this is the BaseApplication

class BaseApplication : Application()
What is the problem and how to solve it ?
I've been thinking about a solution for a long time and haven't found a solution!
I hope you can help me solve it.
Thank you :))

Try to update you Hilt dependencies to v2.40.2
// :app build.gradle START
plugins {
id 'kotlin-android'
id 'kotlin-kapt'
//...
id 'dagger.hilt.android.plugin'
}
android {
//...
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = '1.8'
}
//...
}
dependencies {
//...
// hilt
implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.40.2"
kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.40.2"
}
// Allow references to generated code
kapt {
correctErrorTypes = true
}
// :app build.gradle END
// project build.gradle START
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = "1.5.31"
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.3"
//...
classpath 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.40.2'
}
}
// ...
// project build.gradle END
