Additional information
The error is e: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

codelab: advanced-android-kotlin

Code was recently updated and works fine with 4.2.1 (also the build is green). That error usually means there's something fishy with your JDK installation. Some searches suggest setting Java 1.8 as default.

I can't compile it either.

The same for me. I tried both updating Gradle version to support my Java 17 version and downgrading Java version to 16 to support project's Gradle version

If using a M1, need to upgrade room version to fix a compiler error
