ANR in sentry when making a network call with retrofit when using suspend functions. Very interesting... I guess serialization with moshi ends up being done on the main thread and that has an issue? Or am I interpreting this wrong?

It's creating the adapter, not doing serialization

Consider using Moshi codegen so you don't have to do kotlin-reflect

or using kotlinx.serialization

Interesting. And creating the adapter is creating the ANR? Weird. I wonder what the heck I did to get in this mess.

Yes. kotlin-reflect has to parse a protocol buffer that's compressed with a format called 7in8 (or something) and stored in a string inside an annotation on each class. It is quite slow.
