Is there a way to see the Parcelable code, generated by kotlin-parcelize plugin, directly in Android Studio?
I can't see it with "Show Kotlin Bytecode", and I don't want to build the whole APK and decompile it.

usually generated code is placed in build folder. Check build\generaed\source or somewhere around

I've got an answer in another chat:
• you can go to /build/tmp/kotlin-classes/ in the same gradle module where your class is contained
• then you find your compiled class
• then in the Studio menu press Tools/Kotlin/Decompile to Java
Works like a charm!

[Eugen Martynov]

Great! That is decompilation, I wonder if the generated source is also available. But it is off topic

[alaershov]

AFAIK this code generation does not generate source code directly, it gets compiled on the fly, but indeed, this is a different issue)

[Eugen Martynov]

Not an issue but nice optimisation!

[Chrimaeon]

Compiler plugins never generate „source code“ but modify the output.

Yeah, come to think of it, Parcelize wouldn't even be possible with regular annotation processing, as it requires modification of the initial class. Thanks for the addition)
