i see it's been a year since the last release. is this project dead?

Kind of. I am very swamped at work

yes, I keep up to date with the latest

I doubt it is global issue

perhaps it only applies to KMP

Mockk is very popular 1M downlads per month

not sure why that would matter

If such thing happens should be a lot of gh issues

i am able to workaround the issue using:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force "net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy:1.10.8"
        force "net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-agent:1.10.8"
    }
}

I see

I have confirmed this fixed it for me as well! Thank you!
