I am attempting to implement a Room library in an Android Studio project. However, I keep getting the following error:

[MissingType]: Element ‘com.example.XXX.AppDatabase’ references a type that is not present

This is the implementation of my AppDatabase:

import android.content.Context
import androidx.room.Database
import androidx.room.Room
import androidx.room.RoomDatabase


@Database(entities = arrayOf(GameReview::class), version = 8)
abstract class AppDatabase : RoomDatabase() {
    abstract fun gameDao(): GameDao
    companion object {
        private var INSTANCE: AppDatabase? = null
        fun getInstance(context: Context): AppDatabase {
         // context.deleteDatabase("gamereview")
                if (INSTANCE == null) {
                synchronized(AppDatabase::class) {
                    INSTANCE = buildRoomDB(context)
                }
            }
            return INSTANCE!!
        }
        private fun buildRoomDB(context: Context) =
            Room.databaseBuilder(
                context.applicationContext,
                AppDatabase::class.java,
                "gamereview"
            ).fallbackToDestructiveMigration().build()    //fallbackToDestructiveMigration().
    }

and this is my build.gradle(Module:app) file:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
    id 'androidx.navigation.safeargs'
    id 'kotlin-kapt'

        minSdk 29
        targetSdk 33
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.8'
    }
}

}

I have also implemented entity, dao and a repository for utilising AppDatabase in the Main activity. If it’s necessary, I can include these files as well, but I was not sure since this is the first time I am encountering this error and I am not sure what it means.

To anyone answering this, thank you in advance!
