Solution

  • I have tried to rename and remove the line with include ':app' from my settings.gradle or settings.gradle.kts file, Sync Project with Gradle files and revert the removed line and sync again. But it does not work for me.

    What works for me is;

    1. delete folders [build, .idea, .gradle]
    2. resync or Invalidate Caches / Restart
    3. and do the same steps by removing include ':app', etc. (optional step, if does not work)

    Note: This works for me for my project that is configured with .kts files and do it with precautions.
