I received this build error having updated my native android project to Android S (Pre release of android 12).
Googling for the error threw up no valuable hits. One hit from Netbeans a few years back and some Xamarin problems.
The stack trace is below :
FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures.
1: Task failed with an exception.
-----------
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':dependencies:android:kaptDebugKotlin'.
> A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptWithoutKotlincTask$KaptExecutionWorkAction
> java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException (no error message)
* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':dependencies:android:kaptDebugKotlin'.

Are there any steps I could take to overcome this problem?
This arises in Android builds from a combination of:
The default android toolchains have moved to JDK11 now, you must use JDK11, at least if you change any of the Android API target versions to 31 (or later).
Path to update your gradle jdk in AS Arctic Fox:
Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle > Gradle JDK
Select 11 and build should be successful.
If this option does not exist, upgrade Android Studio.
