I Try cleaning gradle cache and stop the gradle daemon. Then retry the build. But the problem remains

If you are using ButterKnife, just remove ButterKnife gradle plugin, and use the annotationProcessor + implementation version instead. See step bellow:

1. Remove apply plugin: 'com.jakewharton.butterknife' in gradle

2. Just use/add dependencies below in gradle instead:

   dependencies {
       implementation 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.8.1'
       annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.8.1'
   }
