Fatal exception: unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo

[numitec]

Hello there,

newer user: I download it and try to run it on Android Studio 3.5.3 on device Nexus 5X API 27; debugging session throws:

Kindly where I can start to find a workaround?

Thank you,

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

Add above line in build.gradle
