# serialization

[Piotr Prus]

Hi 👋 , first post here 🙂
I have a problem adding serialization-protobuf to my android project.
This is what I am doing.
in project level build.gradle:

buildscipt {
dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-serialization:${versions.kotlin}"
}
}

apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization'

in app-level build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'kotlinx-serialization'
}
dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-protobuf:1.4.20"
}

I got following error:

Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-protobuf:1.4.20

I believe I wrongly configured the plugins, but I do not found any guide for android. All of them are for multiplatform 🙂 . Can anyone point me where the issue is?

Your dependency version is wrong, it should be 1.0.1. The plugin uses Kotlin's version, but the runtime has it's own (see https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization)

[Nikky]

the plugin block should be different though

plugins {
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform' version '1.4.20'
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization' version '1.4.20'
}

https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization#gradle

and in app level it should be id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization' without a version

thanks. I wrongly used the library, not the plugin. The lib version is 1.0.1 as @rnett pointed
