Does kotlin 1.8.0 strip in the bytecode parameter names in public functions? When IDE decompiles artifact built with Kotlin 1.8.0 I see

@Nullable
 Object createConversation(int var1, @NotNull String var2, @Nullable String var3, boolean var4, @Nullable String var5, @NotNull Continuation<? super CreateConversationResult> var6);

 @Nullable
 Object retrySdkSessionInit(@NotNull Continuation<? super Unit> var1);

Or could it be R8? (this is an Android library).

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/compiler-reference.html#java-parameters has always been disabled by default as far as I know

[Eugen Martynov]

oke, I have to understand first what IDE shows me and why compiler fails also. Is it because of the metadata or something else.

[ephemient]

I don't think Kotlin metadata is used by the bytecode decompiler

[ephemient]

for compiling you do need to make sure the producer hasn't stripped out Kotlin metadata, Kotlin doesn't make use of Java parameter names
