hiltViewModel() not working for injecting viewModel into a compose function

Question

The composable function in which I am trying to use the hiltViewModel() function

@Composable
fun PokedexEntry(
    entry: PokedexListEntry,
    navController: NavController,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    viewModel: PokemonListViewModel = hiltViewModel()
)

View Model class

@HiltViewModel
class PokemonListViewModel @Inject constructor(
    private val repository: PokemonRepository
): ViewModel() {
    fun calcDominantColor(drawable: Drawable, onFinish: (Color) -> Unit){
        val bmp = (drawable as BitmapDrawable).bitmap.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true)

        Palette.from(bmp).generate {palette ->
            palette?.dominantSwatch?.rgb?.let {colorValue ->
                onFinish(Color(colorValue))
            }
        }
    }
}

I am trying to use hiltViewModel() function but it shows unresolved reference and when I tried to write the import statement on my own i.e "import androidx.hilt.navigation.compose.hiltViewModel", I am not able to import it as it also shows error on androidx.hilt only. That means there is a problem with the import line but I have added all the necessary dependencies I could I think. Anyone who knows please help. Also please check the dependencies I have added.
