What’s the proper way to make sure only single version of kotlinx.serialization.json is used? I’m having issues where an external library that I use leaks a different version of kotlinx.serialization.json from the one that I use and seems to cause IR lowering issue when compiling for K/N 🤔

Specifically the error that I’m seeing is this:

Caused by: org.jetbrains.kotlin.backend.common.CompilationException: Back-end: Please report this problem <https://kotl.in/issue>
/opt/buildAgent/work/b2fef8360e1bcf3d/formats/json/commonMain/src/kotlinx/serialization/json/internal/StreamingJsonDecoder.kt:19:1
Problem with `@OptIn(markerClass = [ExperimentalSerializationApi::class, ExperimentalUnsignedTypes::class])
internal open class StreamingJsonDecoder : JsonDecoder, AbstractDecoder {

Either removing kotlinx.serialization from module, or adding my own kotlinx.serialization.json dep with explicit version seems to fix the issue

Still wondering if there’s some Gradle build configuration I should do to lock version of the kotlinx.serialization.json?

Here to wait for responses too. Having the same issue with other libraries. Tried the gradle resolution strategy API but has no effect. I wish some come up with some code snippet to select/force a specific version other than the explicit one

As far as I know, "adding my own kotlinx.serialization.json dep with explicit version" is a normal way in Gradle to lock the version.

Also you can use resolutionStrategy (e.g. as in here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54392467/how-to-use-gradle-resolutionstrategy-to-force-dependency-version)

Leonid, I try below snippet and it didn't work

implementation("org.jetbrains.skiko:skiko") {
        version {
            strictly("0.7.68")
        }
    }

It kept downloading the version pointed by the compose-multiplatform plugin.
