07/10/2024, 1:35 PMWe are trying to update our app to use Kotlin 2.0. When building the release version, we received a warning about R8: "An error occurred when parsing Kotlin metadata." We checked https://developer.android.com/build/kotlin-support and found that there is no support for this version of Kotlin yet.
Should we wait for a new R8 version that supports Kotlin 2.0?
