Kotlin: Missing kotlin.jvm.internal.FunctionReferenceImpl raised for kaptDebugKotlin

Question

I'm new to Android development, maybe this is something obvious that I'm missing. I have switched from i7 to Apple M1 and when I'm building the project, I get the error:

Execution failed for task ':app:kaptDebugKotlin'.
> A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptExecution
   > java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException (no error message)

I have run it then with ./gradlew clean build and it seems that this is the issue: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void kotlin.jvm.internal.FunctionReferenceImpl

Java installed via brew install java is:

openjdk version "15.0.1" 2020-10-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 15.0.1+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 15.0.1+9, mixed mode, sharing)

The same setup seems to work fine on MacBook Pro i7. I wonder if this has to do with Apple M1 CPU?

Any advise, please?

Answer 1

I have found the problem.

I noticed that I had updated the Gradle on the M1. So it must have been something with the libraries. So I reverted them and tried to upgrade them one by one.

This is causing it:

implementation 'com.squareup.moshi:moshi-kotlin-codegen:1.11.0'

Even version 1.10.0 has this problem.

but 1.9.3 works perfectly fine.

implementation 'com.squareup.moshi:moshi-kotlin-codegen:1.9.3'
