Android build fails when using dagger 2.18 with kotlin kapt

Question

I am attempting to include in my android project the dagger android processor version 2.18 with kotlin-kapt. I am also using the androidx package structure. I have added all the required dependencies but upon building my project I am getting the below error.

[kapt] An exception occurred: java.util.NoSuchElementException

Apparently the build runs successfully when using dagger version 2.18. What could be the problem? Is this a known issue with dagger or the new android packaging structure or kotlin-kapt?

UPDATE

Below is my app gradle file with the dependencies

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

Answer 1

This is a known issue, check https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/1245. For now you need to roll back to 2.16

Answer 2

Instead of rolling back you can now use latest dagger version (at this point is 2.21) but also update Android Gradle Plugin (aka build tools) to 3.3.0+
