I am investigating the material components provided by

implementation group: 'com.google.android.material', name: 'material', version: '1.0.0-alpha3'
namely com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
Using Android Studio version
Android Studio 3.2 Canary 18
Build #AI-181.4892.42.32.4830125, built on June 8, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1136-b04 x86_64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Mac OS X 10.11.6
I created a basic application with this gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
    compileSdkVersion 'android-P'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.research.peanut"
        minSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0-alpha3'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.1'
    implementation group: 'com.google.android.material', name: 'material', version: '1.0.0-alpha3'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.1.0-alpha3'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.0-alpha3'
Following this site 
I added the following chips to my layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">
    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world" />
    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Entry"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipIcon="@drawable/ic_add_circle_outline_24dp"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world" />
    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Filter"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world" />
    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Choice"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world"/>
    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Action"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipIcon="@drawable/ic_call_to_action_24dp"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world"/>
</LinearLayout>
I get have the following build issues
Android resource linking failed
Output:  /Users/frankb/AndroidStudioCanaryProjects/wip/Peanut/app/src/main/res/layout/activity_main.xml:10: error: attribute chipText (aka com.research.peanut:chipText) not found.

What am I missing?
UPDATE
when a change my gradle dependency to
implementation group: 'com.google.android.material', name: 'material', version: '1.0.0-alpha1'
My app works fine.
                I'm experiencing the same issue after updating it to 1.0.0-alpha03. Setting chipText programatically works btw.

                @Nominalista, when I set chip text programatically the displayed chip text is not displayed correctly as the chips size (width) is set as if it has no text. How are you getting the text displayed in full?

Just because the Chips extends Button and then TextView we are able to use
<android.support.design.chip.Chip
android:text="text"/>
