Could not find method kapt() for arguments
Solution 1
In my case,I was missing
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
Hope it helps someone as blind as me.
Solution 2
Here is a working solution for the latest version of android studio
instead of apply plugin use id 'kotlin-kapt'
inside plugins.
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'kotlin-android'
id 'kotlin-kapt'
}
Solution 3
So you also forgot to add
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'dagger.hilt.android.plugin'
in app level gradel file. Nice.
Solution 4
Use plugin with this order,
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'dagger.hilt.android.plugin'

I'm facing a problem for over 3 days now and I can't solve. since I started to use Kotlin for Android,I stopped using "annotationProcessor" and started using "kapt", all things were working great with kapt until I started to build an Android Instant App, when I add "kapt" to any dependency like Glide or ButterKnife Gradle always displaying error that cound't find method kapt()
Could not find method kapt() for arguments [com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.7.1] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
Here are my project Gradle files
Project gradle file
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules. buildscript { ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.71' repositories { google() jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1' classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version" // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong // in the individual module build.gradle files } } allprojects { repositories { google() jcenter() } } task clean(type: Delete) { delete rootProject.buildDir }
app module gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' android { compileSdkVersion 28 defaultConfig { applicationId "com.demo.instantapptest.app" minSdkVersion 17 targetSdkVersion 28 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { implementation project(':feature') implementation project(':base') }
base module gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.feature' apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' android { compileSdkVersion 28 baseFeature true defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 17 targetSdkVersion 28 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { api 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0' api 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3' application project(':app') feature project(':feature') implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.1.1" kapt "android.arch.lifecycle:compiler:1.1.1" implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.7.1' kapt 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.7.1' implementation 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.15.0' kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.15.0' implementation 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:9.0.0-rc2' kapt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:9.0.0-rc2' }
feature module gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.feature' apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions' apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' android { compileSdkVersion 28 defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 17 targetSdkVersion 28 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } } dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version" implementation project(':base') testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2' }
instantapp gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.instantapp' dependencies { implementation project(':feature') implementation project(':base') }
==========
Solved
by adding kotlin-android plugin to the base module
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

Nagaraj Alagusundaram almost 4 yearsYes, it worked. This was missing in my old project and I got the same error when migrating to AndroidX. Thanks.

Madushan over 3 yearsThis happened to me when adding Hilt. Above solution worked

CoolMind about 3 years
id 'kotlin-kapt'

caly__pso about 3 yearsMake sure it's at the top of your base module gradle file. Putting it at the bottom doesn't work.
