In which task and step of the codelab can this issue be found?

Update MarsApiService and MarsViewModel

Describe the problem

import com.jakewharton.retrofit2.converter.kotlinx.serialization.asConverterFactory
import kotlinx.serialization.json.Json
import okhttp3.MediaType

private val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
    .addConverterFactory(Json.asConverterFactory("application/json".toMediaType()))
    .baseUrl(BASE_URL)
    .build()

I have never applied okhttp to gradle in the course of this codelab. So I could see an error on toMediaType()

So in the before part Add kotlinx.serialization library dependencies here, it should be added the code below.

implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.10.0'

Steps to reproduce?

1. Go to...
2. Click on...
3. See error...

Versions Android Studio version: API version of the emulator:
