Error Execution failed for task ':app:kaptDebugKotlin'

Question

I'm trying to build my android project and it's giving me this error: Execution failed for task ':app:kaptDebugKotlin'.

A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptWithoutKotlincTask$KaptExecutionWorkAction java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException (no error message)

This is Gradle dependencies

I tried to clean the project and rebuild and change the kotlin version to a lower one

Answer 1

If you are using dagger dependencies(not android specific) you can upgrade your dagger2 dependency version to 2.48.1 your problem shall be solved.

implementation("com.google.dagger:dagger:2.48.1")
kapt("com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.48.1")

Above two dependencies are sufficient if you do are not using android-dagger
