Serializer for class ‘…’ is not found. Mark the class as @Serializable or provide the serializer explicitly

after reading some documentation I found that the error in my case was mainly due to two misconfigurations that I had:

first: I needed to add the plugin in the gradle at the app and project level, I solved this as follows:
adding in gradle.project the next line:
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization' version '1.6.21'

As is seen in the following image:

and after that, adding in the gradle.app the next line in the plugins block : id 'kotlinx-serialization'

As is seen in the following image:

secondly, the problem was that when the classes were serialized at runtime, the proguard generated conflicts, for this I had to add a few lines to the file proguard-rules.pro

And add the following lines into the file:

### your config ....

# Keep `Companion` object fields of serializable classes.
# This avoids serializer lookup through `getDeclaredClasses` as done for named companion objects.
-if @kotlinx.serialization.Serializable class **
-keepclassmembers class <1> {
   static <1>$Companion Companion;
}

# Keep `serializer()` on companion objects (both default and named) of serializable classes.
-if @kotlinx.serialization.Serializable class ** {
   static **$* *;
}
-keepclassmembers class <2>$<3> {
   kotlinx.serialization.KSerializer serializer(...);
}

# Keep `INSTANCE.serializer()` of serializable objects.
-if @kotlinx.serialization.Serializable class ** {
   public static ** INSTANCE;
}
-keepclassmembers class <1> {
   public static <1> INSTANCE;
   kotlinx.serialization.KSerializer serializer(...);
}

# @Serializable and @Polymorphic are used at runtime for polymorphic serialization.
-keepattributes RuntimeVisibleAnnotations,AnnotationDefault

I finally synced the gradle, compiled again and everything worked fine.
