Android kotlin project build stuck on app:kaptDebugKotlin task

Question

I have next issue during the project building process: build process just stuck on app:kaptDebugKotlin task. My root project build.gradle:

apply plugin: "kotlin"
buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.2-2'
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"            
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
    }
}

ext {
    buildToolsVersion = '25.0.2'
    supportLibVersion = '25.3.1'
    runnerVersion = '0.5'
    rulesVersion = '0.5'
    espressoVersion = '2.2.2'
    archLifecycleVersion = '1.0.0-alpha1'
    archRoomVersion = '1.0.0-alpha1'
}

and the app build.gradle itself:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.test.roomtest"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    sourceSets {
        main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'

    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:$kotlin_version"
    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"

    compile 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.1.0'
    compile "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.0.1"
    compile "android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:${rootProject.archRoomVersion}"
    compile "android.arch.persistence.room:rxjava2:${rootProject.archRoomVersion}"
    kapt "android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:${rootProject.archRoomVersion}"
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

I tried to use different plugin versions but it didn't help. As for using Room seems it's not a problem because this example builds without problems. Will be very appreciate for any help.

Is this still an issue? The same problem for me was resolved by just using the newest kotlin - 1.3.60.
