I had the same issue but I was lacking the line

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

After briefly trying, I found that adding the line before apply plugin: 'realm-android' works for me.

In my case the top part of my working build.gradle looks like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'realm-android'

So please try the following:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'com.jakewharton.hugo'
apply plugin: 'com.novoda.bintray-release'
apply plugin: 'realm-android'

And if that doesn't work, try moving the line directly above the apply realm plugin line (i.e. below the hugo and bintray plugins).

Try putting:

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

before:

apply plugin: 'realm-android'

I had the same issue and this worked for me

was facing the same issue, project was on git i just hit the pull and there was the issue that Kapt() not found .

Fixed: clear cache and restart/add apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' at the top/ sync project

If you're using some version of Android Studio ArcticFox, there's a new way of declaring these plugins. It goes like this on your build.gradle (app level)

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'kotlin-android'
    id 'kotlin-kapt'
    id 'realm-android'
}

android {
    ....
}

realm {
    syncEnabled = true
}

dependencies {
    ....
}

And don't forget the build.gradle (project level)

buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = "1.6.0"
ext.realm_version = '10.8.1'
repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.3"
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:$realm_version"

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

}
