Why am I getting this error? Cannot access 'java.io.Closeable' which is a supertype of 'io.ktor.client.HttpClient'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies

My application still runs so I think the problem is that Android Studio can't find the class.

I am using Kotlin 1.6.10 and this is a KMP subproject.
I have tried both of these in my build.gradle.kts and neither solves the error the IDE is reporting.

implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib")

And

implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.6.10")

I am using ktor 2.0.0 and I also have this in build.gradle.kts:

java {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

This problem is similar to this one. I suggest reporting an issue here.

Appears it has already been brought up based on the comment here, so no point putting in a bug report that is outside their control.
