DaggerAppComponent not created

Question

With dagger 2.10 I used to be able to create the app component by doing

    sAppComponent = DaggerAppComponent.builder()
            .appModule(new AppModule(this))
            .sessionModule(new SessionModule())
            .netModule(new NetModule())
            .dataModule(new DataModule())
            .build();

I was already using the AndroidInjector for Activities and everything was fine. Now I switched to 2.11 and I can't find the way to create the app component. In the google tutorial I see:

DaggerYourApplicationComponent.create()
    .inject(this);

to be added in the onCreate of the Application. In my case DaggerYourApplicationComponent = DaggerAppComponent. The problem is that DaggerAppComponent class isn't created anymore.

I have:

public class App extends android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication implements HasActivityInjector {
    @Inject DispatchingAndroidInjector<Activity> mDispatchingActivityInjector;
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        sAppComponent = DaggerAppComponent.create().inject(this); //here the error

and:

@Singleton
@Component(modules = {
        AppModule.class,
        MainActivityModule.class,
        ...
})
public interface AppComponent {
        void inject(App app);
        ...
}

in the build.gradle file I have:

def daggerVer = 2.11
compile "com.google.dagger:dagger:$daggerVer"
compile "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:$daggerVer"
annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-processor:$daggerVer"

Instead try DaggerAppComponent.builder().create(this).inject(this). — azizbekian
@kingston This tends to indicate that Dagger failed to generate the file, and has printed the reason for the failure into your compiler output. Can you find that and paste that in here? — Jeff Bowman

With the dependencies listed below everything works:

If you are using Kotlin

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

dependencies {
    def daggerVer = 2.27 // or latest version

    implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger:$daggerVer"
    implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:$daggerVer"
    kapt "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-processor:$daggerVer"
    kapt "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:$daggerVer"
}

If you are using Java:

dependencies {
    def daggerVer = 2.27 // or latest version

    implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger:$daggerVer"
    implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:$daggerVer"
    annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-processor:$daggerVer"
    annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:$daggerVer"
}

See google tutorial
