08/02/2022, 10:39 AMQuick question for mobile client: can I have Ktor version 1.6.7 on a library gradle dependency and Ktor version 2.0.3 on my main project?
I have tried it and I realised that those two are not working well together (e.g I got java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lio/ktor/client/features/ClientRequestException).

08/02/2022, 10:41 AMAs a rule of thumb, different major versions of the libraries don't play nice together due to permitted breaking changes. Looks like you hit a bottleneck here. I recommend sticking with 1.x for now until your dependencies upgrade to 2.x
