I keep running my app and it keeps showing the error below:

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

The app won't launch on my phone. I have tried to clean the project and running ./gradlew clean but still getting the same error. The app builds successfully but can't run it. Below is my project level gradle file:

    buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.0-RC2'
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1'
        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()
        mavenCentral()

    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

CodePudding user response：

The issue is that you are using different versions for dagger-android & dagger-processor causing the kapt issue.

Try using this:

implementation 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.21'
implementation 'com.google.dagger:dagger-android:2.16'
implementation 'com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:2.16'
kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-android-processor:2.16'
kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.16'

Or if you need to upgrade you dagger version, try using their upgrade guide from here Dagger 2 Releases or upgrade to Dagger Hilt.
