Getting error: android-apt plugin is incompatible with the Android Gradle plugin. Please use 'annotationProcessor' configuration instead

Question

I am getting this error:

android-apt plugin is incompatible with the Android Gradle plugin. Please use 'annotationProcessor' configuration instead

Because I use this not working :

Android Studio Warning: Using incompatible plugins for the annotation processing

Incompatible plugins for android-apt after upgrading to Android Studio 2.3

I was facing the same problem. this error is due to the realm plugin dependency. Please update to the latest version of the plugin . I have update the realm dependency in gradle.build to this one

classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:5.0.0"

and the error has been removed.
