Error: Class kotlin.reflect.jvm.internal.FunctionCaller$FieldSetter

Question

I've tried everything to get rid of this error but it keeps coming back.

Class kotlin.reflect.jvm.internal.FunctionCaller$FieldSetter can not access a member of class com.android.build.gradle.tasks.ManifestProcessorTask with modifiers "private"

I don't even use kotlin.

What I've tried:

Delete all the files inside .gradle and the Invalidate Caches / Restart

Update the Kotlin to 1.3.0-rc-57-Studio3.3-1

Update the Android Studio to Android Studio 3.3 Canary 11 Build #AI-182.4323.46.33.5012296

Update Gradle to gradle-4.10-all

After all of each step, I was able to run a build 4/5 times and then the error comes back. This is destroying my workflow I would really appreciate some help

EDIT: (Probably was the cause of the error) Because the error started after I tried to update the android dependencies to AndroidX but then I gave up because I kept getting errors (With Glide and @NonNull) so decided to downgrade back to android 28.0.0-rc02

Answer 1

A few days ago I tried this and the problem hasn't come back ever since:

---

Delete all the files in .Gradle

Execute Build > Clean Project

File > Invalidate Caches / Restart...

(After restart) Sync Project with Gradle Files

---

All of this steps must be done without making anything in between otherwise somehow will not work.

Answer 2

Facing same issue. I resolve this error by doing this:

Earlier in my build.gradle (Project : appname)

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0-alpha12'

I use 3.2.0 instead of 3.3.0-alpha12

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'

Try this

Happy coding :)
