Program type already present: org.intellij.lang.annotations.Flow

Question

I am getting this error whenever I try to run a program in Kotlin. My gradle files are like this: Project Level Gradle

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.30'
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.1'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'
    }
}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

And App Level Gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
ext.supportLibraryVersion = '27.1.1'
ext.playServices = '11.6.2'

        versionName "1.0.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {

        }
    }
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        mavenCentral()
        google()
    }
}

    implementation 'org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.1.1'
    implementation 'com.github.daniel-stoneuk:material-about-library:2.2.3-support26.1.0'
}

Whenever I try to run the program I get this error

Program type already present: org.intellij.lang.annotations.Flow Message{kind=ERROR, text=Program type already present: org.intellij.lang.annotations.Flow, sources=[Unknown source file], tool name=Optional.of(D8)}

Please add following line in your App level build.gradle.

configurations {
    cleanedAnnotations
    compile.exclude group: 'org.jetbrains' , module:'annotations'
}
