Interoperability with protobuf-kotlin and protobuf-kotlin-lite

[chrispix99]

The problem

We are using protobuf in our application, and we are making use of the full library (not just lite), for things like pack, unpack, optional. We are able to get the app to compile, but when launching the application we get an exception. com.google.protobuf.Timestamp): [0x13] register v3 has type Precise Reference: com.google.protobuf.Timestamp but expected Reference: com.google.protobuf.GeneratedMessageLite

Environment

Android OS Version	e.g. 13
Android Devices/Emulators	e.g. Pixel 6a emulator

Steps to Reproduce

Have an app that uses full version of protobuf-kotlin.. Here is part of the build.gradle

plugins {
...
    id("com.google.protobuf") version "0.9.3"
}
...
dependencies {
 implementation("com.google.protobuf:protobuf-kotlin:${rootProject.ext["protobufVersion"]}")

    implementation("io.grpc:grpc-kotlin-stub:${rootProject.ext["grpcKotlinVersion"]}")
    implementation("io.grpc:grpc-stub:1.55.1")
    implementation("io.grpc:grpc-protobuf:1.55.1")
    implementation("io.grpc:grpc-android:1.24.0")
    implementation("io.grpc:grpc-okhttp:1.52.0")

    implementation("com.plaid.link:sdk-core:4.2.0") {
        exclude(group = "com.google.protobuf", module = "protobuf-kotlin-lite")
    }
}

...

protobuf {
    protoc {
        // The artifact spec for the Protobuf Compiler
        artifact = "com.google.protobuf:protoc:${rootProject.ext[ "protobufVersion"]}"
    }
    plugins {
        // Optional: an artifact spec for a protoc plugin, with "grpc" as
        // the identifier, which can be referred to in the "plugins"
        // container of the "generateProtoTasks" closure.
        create("grpc") {
            artifact = "io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:${rootProject.ext["grpcJavaVersion"]}"
        }
        create("grpckt") {
            artifact = "io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-kotlin:${rootProject.ext["grpcKotlinVersion"]}:jdk8@jar"
        }
        create("java") {
            artifact = "io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:${rootProject.ext["grpcJavaVersion"]}"
        }
        create("kotlin") {
            artifact = "io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-kotlin:${rootProject.ext["grpcKotlinVersion"]}:jdk8@jar"
        }
    }

...

    generateProtoTasks {
        all().forEach { task ->
            task.plugins{
                create("java")
                create("kotlin")
                create("grpc")
                create("grpckt")
            }
        }

    }
}

Expected Result

Should not be required to change our dependencies for protobuf. Should be able to at least fork the plaid-core sdk.
