InvocationTargetException with Android Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 arm64 on M1 Apple silicon

Question

During a build of my Android project on my M1 Apple Silicon using kapt (eg Room)

Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Beta 1 arm64
..
Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Beta 5 arm64
Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1 Canary 2 aarch64

With

Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Beta 5
Build #AI-203.7717.56.2031.7360992, built on May 14, 2021
Runtime version: 11.0.10+0-b96-7249189 aarch64
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o.
macOS 11.4

I run into

Execution failed for task ':FFTSpectrumLib:kaptDebugKotlin'.
> A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptWithoutKotlincTask$KaptExecutionWorkAction
   > java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException (no error message)

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

I've no clue how to make it work with fast aarch64 !

With x86 it works

Answer 1

The root cause was Room 2.3.0 This https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/issues/450 pointed me to the solution

Solution A

add

kapt "org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.34.0"

it includes this https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/releases/tag/3.32.3.3

Solution B

Simply use Room 2.4.0-alpha03
