In which task and step of the codelab can this issue be found?
Task: 8. Parse the JSON response with kotlinx.serialization
Step: Add kotlinx.serialization library dependencies

Describe the problem
Using id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization") version "1.8.10" in the plugins block causes a surprising failure when launching the app on a device. Apparently you need to use a version greater than 2.0 (I got 2.1.0 to actually work) or else you get an error like the following when you try to launch the app:

Caused by: kotlinx.serialization.SerializationException: Serializer for class 'MarsPhoto' is not found.
                                                                                                    Please ensure that class is marked as '@Serializable' and that the serialization compiler plugin is applied.
