I'm having the same problem. did you find any solution yet? Thanks

but 2 weeks ago it was usefull and its 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-gradle-plugin:9.0.0-SNAPSHOT'

"SNAPSHOT" is changeable compile a stable(release) version is better choice.

@champion32 not much choice other than to use SNAPSHOP due to this https://github.com/JakeWharton/butterknife/issues/1165

@d34n0s Downgrade, use 8.7.1-SNAPSHOT

thanks @mitty1987 ! That worked.

Probably this issue related to the JDK bug. Try to update your Java to the latest one.

go to Module Settings > SDK Location > Use embedded JDK. This will remove dependency on the external Java installation by using the embedded JDK.
