📌 Description
After adding Okta Kotlin SDK dependencies, Gradle sync fails during project evaluation with a SerializationService error and missing Gradle tooling JAR.
❌ Error
org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.tooling.serialization.SerializationService: Error accessing configuration file
Caused by:
java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException:
~/.gradle/caches/jars-8/.../gradle-tooling-extension-impl.jar
What is expected to happen?
Project should sync and build successfully after adding Okta dependencies.
What is the actual behavior?
After adding the Okta Kotlin SDK dependencies and syncing the project:
Gradle sync fails during project evaluation
Build does not proceed to compilation
The error occurs before any application code is executed
Error observed:
SerializationService: Error accessing configuration file
NoSuchFileException for a Gradle cached JAR (gradle-tooling-extension-impl.jar)
As a result, the project cannot be built or run.
Reproduction Steps?
Add Okta Kotlin SDK dependencies
Sync Gradle project
Build fails during configuration phase
Additional Information?
❓ Questions
Is Okta Kotlin SDK compatible with older SDK levels (compileSdk 30 / minSdk 21)?
Are there any known issues with Gradle tooling or BOM usage?
Any required Gradle/Kotlin/AGP version alignment for SDK v2.x?
🎯 What We Are Trying to Achieve
We are integrating Okta-based authentication in an Android application with:
- Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Authorization Code Flow with PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange)
We are using the Okta Kotlin Mobile SDK to implement secure login via Chrome Custom Tabs.
🧪 What I Already Tried
Stopped Gradle daemon (./gradlew --stop)
Cleared Gradle caches (~/.gradle/caches, ~/.gradle/daemon)
Invalidated Android Studio caches and restarted
Clean build (./gradlew clean)
Re-synced project
📎 Additional Context
This is an existing project with multiple dependencies (Retrofit, Firebase, etc.)
Issue started immediately after adding Okta SDK
Error occurs during Gradle tooling phase, before compilation
SDK Version(s)
