Access to 'viewBinding' exceeds its access rights

Question

After updating Android Studio to Arctic Fox and Android Gradle plugin to 7.0.0 I'm facing this warning, I mean the app can be built successfully nonetheless of this warning but what I am missing here? What's the problem here?

According to the official View Binding reference, I'm enabling it the right way. here is my build.gradle if anyone is interested in checking.

There are some related questions but I don't think they are relevant in this situation.

Remove equal sign. On the screenshot you use Kotlin configuration, but Groovy is needed here. See the difference:

Try to rename your file 'build.gradle' to 'build.gradle.kts'. And change its content to the appropriate Kotlin DSL syntax where necessary.

Yeah, that's an option too. I have nothing against Kotlin DSL in build.gradle but I think removing an equal sign is way easier and faster than migrating my build.gradle file to Kotlin DSL syntax. – YaMiN Feb 10 '22 at 18:29
