Internal compiler error while using latest kotlinx-serialization-core:1.0.0-RC

Describe the bug I am trying to use kotlin serizlization in my android application, but as soon as I mark my data class with @Serializable the project stops compiling with internal compiler error. I have double checked every thing, and i ma quite sure that I haven`t miss any thing. I have added this to my build.gradle project file inside dependencies

 dependencies {
   // others
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-serialization:$kotlin_version"
    }

while in build.grade module i have

dependencies {
org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-core:1.0.0-RC
}

Here are my plugins at top apply plugin: ‘com.android.application’ apply plugin: ‘kotlin-android’ apply plugin: “androidx.navigation.safeargs.kotlin” apply plugin: ‘kotlin-kapt’ apply plugin: ‘kotlinx-serialization’

I simply used the data class from sample provided in readme like this To Reproduce[ @Serializable data class Project(val name: String, val language: String)

here is stackstace```

+1 For this issue, it seems to be blocking out upgrade to kotlin 1.5 / 1.6 Has there been any progress or workarounds?

[uniruddh]

isn’t there any workaround or compatible versions?
