.Net: Pinecone Connector throws exception after upgrading from Beta8 to RC4

After updating from Beta 8 to RC4, after making the necessary code changes, when I run the code below, InvokeAsync() throws the following exception: "The JSON value could not be converted to Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.Pinecone.PodType. Path: $.database.pod_type | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 121." I've included the full stacktrace below as well.

var kernelBuilder = Kernel.CreateBuilder();
kernelBuilder = kernelBuilder.AddOpenAITextEmbeddingGeneration(index.EmbeddingModel, config.EmbeddingConfig.Key);
kernelBuilder = kernelBuilder.AddOpenAIChatCompletion(index.CompletionModel, config.CompletionConfig.Key);

var kernel = kernelBuilder.Build();

PineconeMemoryStore memoryStore = new PineconeMemoryStore(config.MemoryStoreConfig.EnvironmentName, config.MemoryStoreConfig.APIKey);

// Create an embedding generator to use for semantic memory.
var embeddingGenerator = new OpenAITextEmbeddingGenerationService(index.EmbeddingModel, config.EmbeddingConfig.Key);
SemanticTextMemory textMemory = new(memoryStore, embeddingGenerator);

var memoryPlugin = new TextMemoryPlugin(textMemory);
kernel.ImportPluginFromObject(memoryPlugin, "textmemoryskill");

var completionPromptFunction = kernel.CreateFunctionFromPrompt(index.CompletionPrompt,
        new OpenAIPromptExecutionSettings() { MaxTokens = index.CompletionMaxTokens, PresencePenalty = 0, TopP = 1, Temperature = .5, FrequencyPenalty = 0 });

string responseText = string.Empty;
FunctionResult response = null;
try
{
  // Exception thrown from InvokeAsync call below
    response = await kernel.InvokeAsync(completionPromptFunction, new()
    {
        [TextMemoryPlugin.CollectionParam] = aiConfig.MemoryStoreConfig.IndexName,
        [TextMemoryPlugin.LimitParam] = 3,
        [TextMemoryPlugin.RelevanceParam] = "0.70",
        ["input"] = query.UserPrompt
    });

    responseText = response.GetValue<string>();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Exception caught here
}
