In general protubf seems really buggy.
I.e. this code:

ProtoBuf.dump(Int.serializer().set, setOf())

Also just throws an exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException: List is empty.

yeah i don’t remember what the exact issues were but i punted on protobuf support in kmp because it just didn’t seem mature
