kotlinlang

Is this a Kotlin or an R8 bug?

&gt;java.lang.LinkageError: Method void g.y4$b.a() [aka `app.SomeFragment.Model.clear()`] overrides final method in class Lf/n/j0 [aka `androidx.lifecycle.ViewModel`];
The method in question is `fun clear()` in my own `ViewModel` subclasses.
`clear()` in Android’s `ViewModel` is `final` with package-visibility so the `clear()` of my own subclass should be treated as a completely different function!
