For someone who is still looking for answer to this, here is the working solution for this problem. In your project level open build.gradle file, increase the ext.kotlin_version from whatever current version that you have like 1.5.0, to the latest stable version 1.6.0. Thanks

Happened to me when updating from Kotlin 1.4.30 to 1.5.0. Seems to be some sort of Gradle caching issue. I was able to resolve it by updating Gradle from 6.7.1 to 6.9 (or any other version).

Just go to gradle-wrapper.properties and change this line from

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.7.1-all.zip

to

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.9-all.zip
