Hi. Can someone please answer this
Why kapt plugin is required for annotation processor in koltin?

So I’m super unsure of this, but I suspect that `annotationProcessor` won’t be looking for annotations in Kotlin files, whereas `kapt` will.

you need Kapt to let Annotation Processors written for Java to get access to Kotlin classes during annotation processing

if you don’t generate any code from Kotlin files you don’t need kapt
