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

[gildor]

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

[gildor]

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