Android Studio: Adding Kotling to existing Java app ends up in "Internal error: unexpected lint return value -1" when building

Issue

I'm adding Kotlin to my existing Java app (I first have to say I've already done it to another of my apps with no problems at all) and after following all required initial steps I always get an "Internal error: unexpected lint return value -1" with no error details when building.

This is the relevant part of my project's grade file:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.0'
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
...
}

This is the relevant parts of my module's build .gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
android {
  ...
  implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
}

I've tried all recommendations found here: How to Use Kotlin in an Existing Android App? to no avail.

I've also tried clearing all the cache with:

rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches/

to no avail also.

What can I do? I'm not even getting details about the problem.

Edit 1:

Now I was able to see the complete build log:

But still not being able to find much information about the "Task :extractDebugAnnotations FAILED" error.

Solution

OK, don't know why, but after removing

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

from my 'Core' and 'Global' modules build.gradle now the app builds successfully.

I don't know why the other modules accept the apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' in build.gradle and not 'Core' and 'Global' and I don't even know if I'll be able to use Kotlin in those two modules then, but for the moment the app builds just fine.
