I am trying to develop an app as well as learn Kotlin. I decided to create an app that allows a User to create a story using AI, based on prompts, a sort of Text RPG game. I finished the UI, so now I moved on to incorporating the OpenAI API into the app. I finished writing the Kotlin code for the API request:

fun makeAPIRequest(message: String) {
        // Launch a coroutine to handle the API request asynchronously
        GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
            // Create a ChatCompletionRequest to send to OpenAI
            val chatRequest = ChatCompletionRequest(
                model = ModelId("gpt-3.5-turbo-1106"), // Use the correct model name
                messages = mutableListOf(
                    ChatMessage(
                        role = Role.User, // User sends the message
                        content = message  // The message entered by the user
                    )
                ),
                temperature = 0.7,
                maxTokens = 150
            )

            // Send the request to OpenAI API and get the response asynchronously
            val response = openAI.chatCompletion(chatRequest)

            // Process the response on the main thread
            withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
                val responseMessage = response.choices.first().message
                // Handle the response here, e.g., update UI or process data
                chatGPTResponse = responseMessage.toString()
            }
        }
    }

The reason I didn’t make the function async is because I call it elsware in my MainActivity.kt

There are no syntax errors when the project is just sitting inside the IDE. However, when I try to launch the app, it crashes instantly and gives me this output in Logcat:
`
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lio/ktor/client/plugins/contentnegotiation/ContentNegotiation;

…

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn’t find class “io.ktor.client.plugins.contentnegotiation.ContentNegotiation” on path: DexPathList[[zip file “/data/app/~~PDlu8hz4gyE6dIA4WjsxSA==/com.example.worldcrafter-jSXV8Rrpgh6Ga_DxfOZ7qg==/base.apk”],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/~~PDlu8hz4gyE6dIA4WjsxSA==/com.example.worldcrafter-jSXV8Rrpgh6Ga_DxfOZ7qg==/lib/x86_64, /data/app/~~PDlu8hz4gyE6dIA4WjsxSA==/com.example.worldcrafter-jSXV8Rrpgh6Ga_DxfOZ7qg==/base.apk!/lib/x86_64, /system/lib64, /system_ext/lib64]]
The reason I point out that second and longer replica of the first error is because before the app even starts, there is 2 warnings that It cannot access that exact file path

And here is my MainActivity.kt, which I have slimmed down to only the relevant functions and variables, as it also handles UI switches.

                chatGPTResponse = responseMessage.toString()
            }
        }
    }
}

I have tried cleaning and rebuilding, using different versions of both Content Negotiation, Kotlin, and the entirety of Ktor. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
