Hello!
When updated to version 1.7.0-Beta got error on mergeDebugJavaResource while building Android apk. (2 files found with path 'META-INF/versions/9/previous-compilation-data.bin')
There reason is that in both kotlinx-coroutines-android-1.7.0-Beta.jar and kotlinx-coroutines-core-jvm-1.7.0-Beta.jar there is existence of META-INF/versions/9/previous-compilation-data.bin.
While at 1.6.4 version this file exists only in kotlinx-coroutines-core-jvm.
kotlinx-coroutines-android depends on kotlinx-coroutines-core-jvm, so when add dependency to kotlinx-coroutines-android also got kotlinx-coroutines-core-jvm as transitive dependency.
Is it a bug or there should be changes from library user's side?

I think it is not the same issue. In case of 1.7.0-Beta it is imposible to solve it by excluding jvm dependency, cause android dependency depends on it.

That is not what the issue suggests

You can use packaging options to mark the file as excluded from the APK. It was never supposed to be in either artifact.

It is ok as temporary workaround. But as for library user it is very strange doing such things instead of just declare dependency.

It was fixed in https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/pull/3675

Thanks! Good to know.
