How can I add annotationProcessor on my build.gradle.kts (DSL)? (I’m on Android part here)
I need that:

kapt("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:$lifecycleVersion")

But with my configuration it’s not working, can’t find the solution.. It says, required KaptOption..
Here is what I have:

sourceSets {
    val androidMain by getting {
        kotlin.srcDir("src/main/kotlin")
        dependencies {
            kapt("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:$lifecycleVersion")

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html, search for kapt

Hum, not working for me, the same thing..
Type mismatch: inferred type is String but Action<KaptExtension> was expected

[Maurice Jouvet]

I did exactly the same configuration:

dependencies {
    kapt("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:$lifecycleVersion")
}

I am using the latest version of gradle. 6.1.

I found this: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl-samples/issues/1372
But not working as well..

[Kris Wong]

what if you try it within android.dependencies?

[Maurice Jouvet]

How can I do that?

Ok I found.

Damn still the same issue:
> Annotation processors must be explicitly declared now. The following dependencies on the compile classpath are found to contain annotation processor.

I’ll try something else, thank you very much anyway.

[Maurice Jouvet]

I’m stuck..

I have some progress now, I have this error:
Project with path ‘androidx.lifecyclelifecycle compiler2.2.0-rc03’ could not be found in project ‘:android’.

[Kris Wong]

that's an odd one

[Maurice Jouvet]

Ok by changing kapt(project()) by kapt(compileOnly()) it passed. But I have now the original issue:
Annotation processors must be explicitly declared now. The following dependencies on the compile classpath are found to
