Dagger not generating Component classes
<p>I have tried a great deal debugging this issue but unable to find the cause. Dagger simply doesn't create the DaggerComponent classes. I've checked SO for duplicates but none of the solutions provided worked.</p>

<p><strong>project's build.gradle</strong></p>

<pre><code>buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
        classpath 'me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:3.2.3'
        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
        classpath 'me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:3.0.1'

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

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        jcenter {
            url "http://jcenter.bintray.com"
        }
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
        }

    }
}

<p>Dagger is failing to generate the component class in my Application class. I've tried clean building, I've tried invalidating cache but nothing works.</p>
