Cannot find symbol DataBindingComponent on Android Studio 3.3 Canary 3 Kotlin project

Question

I just created a new project on Android Studio 3.3 Canary 3 with Kotlin enabled. Then I also enabled data binding, but I'm getting an error saying that it could not find the DataBindingComponent class.

Here is my gradle file

buildscript {
    apply from: 'versions.gradle'
    addRepos(repositories)
    dependencies {
        classpath deps.android_gradle_plugin
        classpath deps.kotlin.plugin
        classpath deps.kotlin.allopen
        classpath deps.navigation.safe_args_plugin
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
    repositories {
        google()
    }
}

allprojects {
    addRepos(repositories)
}


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

My module gradle file:

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

    apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

    apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

    apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

    apply plugin: 'androidx.navigation.safeargs'


    android {
        compileSdkVersion build_versions.target_sdk

        kapt deps.dagger.compiler
        kapt deps.room.compiler
        kapt deps.lifecycle.compiler
    }

my fragment file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <data>

        <variable
            name="viewModel"
            type="arca.advanced.mg.com.arca.ui.splash.SplashViewModel" />

    </data>


    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/activity_main"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
        android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="70dp"
            android:layout_height="70dp"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher" />
    </RelativeLayout>

</layout>

and here is my error

I think it's kapt conflict.

Try to turn off Dagger if it's possible and check errors from Room like this:

Fields annotated with @Relation cannot be constructor parameters. These values are fetched after the object is constructed.

Cannot find setter for field.

Cannot figure out how to save this field into database.

If it will not help, try to turn off libs with kapt's one by one and check the error log carefully.

Check with ./gradlew app:dependencies transitive dependencies, maybe problems with androidx.

Also check gradlew app:dependencies --configuration kapt maybe you will find something suspicious
