kapt plugin throwing error with kotlinx.coroutines 1.7.x

[ElegyD]

How frequently does the bug occur?

Always

Description

I have updated my app dependencies and some now depend on org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.7.1 and org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:1.7.1.
Before, they were version 1.6.4.
When building the project now, Realm throws an error Field "xyz" of type "@org.jetbrains.annotations.Nullable byte[]" is not supported.
Field xyz being a variable of a RealmObject implemented in Kotlin (var xyz: ByteArray? = null).

I tried updating both to the latest version (as of now 1.7.3) but the issue remains.
When explicitly downgrading to version 1.6.4 it works again:
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.6.4!!")
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:1.6.4!!")

The release notes of kotlinx-coroutines 1.7.0 list some breaking changes, but I haven't been able to find more details.

[caeduk]

this solves the issue:

configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
            force("org.jetbrains:annotations:13.0")
       }
}
