Syntax highlighting, and code completion fails when using Kotlin 1.3.61 in a Kotlin Native project, but works fine if Kotlin 1.3.70 is used instead. Using the Kotlin 1.3.70 IntelliJ plugin.

I got this too. I gave up and just upgraded.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place since I need to use the Ktor Client library (CURL version), which doesn't support Kotlin 1.3.70 and KotlinX Serialisation 0.20 yet 🙁.

Unfortunately IntelliJ doesn't have the option to downgrade the Kotlin plugin.

I tend to avoid upgrading (because this happens fairly often) but I got too excited about this release. Couldn't resist better compilation speeds.

This Kotlin plugin update has been rushed through.

You can downgrade by uninstalling the Kotlin plugin. After reboot the older version plugin is back that was included in the IDE release.

AFAIK for Kotlin Native it's pretty much required to have identical versions of Kotlin IDEA plugin and Gradle plugin. Otherwise you will get all sorts of ABI mismatches and stuff.
