Android. Unresolved reference: repeatOnLifecycle

Question

When I try to build release apk I get error:

Unresolved reference: repeatOnLifecycle

When I build debug apk repeatOnLifecycle is resolved.

Why can this happen in the release version?

Note: in the release build, I additionally have the following setting:

            isMinifyEnabled = true
            isShrinkResources = true

Is it possible that this is the problem?

Faced with the same problem. Updating from androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.3.1 to androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.4.0 helped me
