I'm not proguarding/r8ing my library, but if an app uses r8 and uses my library will it still know to retain those Serialized fields? according to the docs https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization?tab=readme-ov-file#android i shouldn't have to add anything in my app, but now I'm curious if its any different if its an android library?
