EDIT
I found the solution
In this case, you need to install whatever Kotlin version is. In my case like this
my kotlin version is : 1.5.21
and I added this dependency in gradle.plugin(module)
plugins {
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization' version '1.5.21'
}
and I added this
dependencies {
implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:1.4.1'
}
and that's it, now you can use serialization in your data class like this.
for example
import kotlinx.serialization.Serializable
#Serializable
data class example(
val example: String,
)
