Answer 1

Switch off the Instant Run in Preferences helped me

Answer 2

You might want to upgrade to a different version of gradle by changing the version in the gradle-wrapper.properties file, as suggested in this answer.

Answer 3

I updated the Kotlin version to the latest which solved it (while still using Instant Run)
