java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt3.base.KaptContext Android

Question

I've been getting an error like this for days, but I couldn't find a solution. Can you please help me?

What could the problem be caused by?

Upgrade Kotlin Gradle Plugin Version to 1.6.0+. Kapt works seamlessly with JDK 16+ when Kotlin is 1.6.0 or higher.

classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.21'

You can solve this by switching Java version to Java 15. Also if you are working with gradle on Intellij IDEA, change java also in File> Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle.

This was my issue (was set to JDK17 instead of JDK11). Thanks! – Mo Beigi Nov 10 '22 at 05:24

I found a solution and fixed this damn problem :D

I recommend using, adding it to the root build.gradle. This will force using the given dependency in the whole project:

build.gradle (Project)

allprojects {
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
            force 'org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.34.0'
        }
    }
}

I was able to solve this problem by adding following workaround :

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m --illegal-access=permit

to gradle.properties file.
