Error Failed to transform core-1.6.0.aar repeat several times in report, but error text are the same every time.

My build.gradle:

    id 'kotlin-android'
    id 'kotlin-kapt'
    id 'kotlin-parcelize'
    id 'com.shazam.fork'
}

apply plugin: 'com.shazam.fork'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30
    defaultConfig {
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.6.0' }
        }
        applicationId "app.converter" // it's ok, nevermind
        minSdkVersion 30
        //noinspection OldTargetApi
        targetSdkVersion 30

        versionName "5"
        testInstrumentationRunner 'androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner'
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    }
    compileOptions{

            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
        buildFeatures {
            viewBinding true
        }


    }

}

dependencies {
    ....
    //noinspection GradleDependency
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.0'
   ....

    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.6.0'
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"


    implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.2.0'
}

Thanks in advance, will provide additional info on request.

UPD : Adding -g C:\gradle-cache to gradle tasks in Jenkins triggered a new error:

   22:14:03 * What went wrong:

UPD 2. Updated gradle to 7.5 and addtional exception show up, however termial run in Android Studio

Solution

(One of) the AndroidManifest.xml seems to be corrupt. One can write <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> into just any XML file, while the file itself doesn't feature UTF-8 encoding, this does not matter the least. Or plugin id 'kotlin-parcelize' might be related; usually this one is not required. I'd also suggest to get rid of this, unless there is a good reason:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.6.0' }
}

While it won't even build locally, forget about building on Jenkins.
