Not able to create any new channels.

Describe the bug
When we are trying to create new channels with given members it is throwing error:

ThrowableError(message=, cause=java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No direct method <init>(Lio/getstream/chat/android/models/User;Ljava/util/Date;Ljava/util/Date;Ljava/lang/Boolean;Ljava/util/Date;Ljava/util/Date;ZZLjava/lang/String;ILkotlin/jvm/internal/DefaultConstructorMarker;)V in class Lio/getstream/chat/android/models/Member; or its super classes (declaration of 'io.getstream.chat.android.models.Member' appears in /data/app/~~l85PiCK7TDUpT7K6K7sQZA==/edu.paletteeduworkspace.paletteapp-lT2tKVzHxD2_eTga3h3FyA==/base.apk!classes19.dex))

                            client.createChannel(
                                channelType = "messaging",
                                channelId = channelId,
                                memberIds = listOf(currentUserId, id),
                                extraData = mutableMapOf(
                                    "networkId" to args.netId,
                                    "programUuid" to args.programId,
                                    "networkName" to SessionManager.getString(requireContext(),"NETWORK_NAME").toString(),
                                    "channel_type" to "normal",

                            ).enqueue {channelResult->
                                when(channelResult){
                                    is Result.Failure -> {
                                        Log.d("CreateChannel", channelResult.value.toString())
                                        requireContext().showLongToast(resources.getString(R.string.initiating_the_chat_will_be_available_soon))
                                    }
                                    is Result.Success -> {

                                        Log.d("CreateChannel", channelResult.toString())
                                        findNavController().navigate(
                                            CreateChannelFragmentDirections.actionCreateChannelFragmentToChattingFragment2(
                                                channelResult.value.cid,
                                                args.netId,
                                                args.programId,
                                                0,
                                                args.programName,
                                                channelResult.value.id,
                                                channelResult.value.hasUnread
                                            )
                                        )
                                    }
                                }

                            }

Expected behavior

Hi, is there any update regarding this bug?

Hi @Yatish1910, @vijay-anand-dev, we're wondering if you still face the same issue after adding the proguard rules below following this guide:

https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-android?tab=readme-ov-file#%EF%B8%8F-r8--proguard

## Stream Chat Android Client Proguard Rules

# Classes that are using with QuerySort can't be minified, because QuerySort uses reflection. If the
# name of the fields of the classes being used by QuerySort, change, the sort won't work as expected.
-keep class io.getstream.chat.android.models.** { *; }
-keep class io.getstream.chat.android.client.api2.model.** { *; }

# ExtraDataDto can't be minified because we check for extraData using reflection in
# io.getstream.chat.android.client.parser2.adapters.CustomObjectDtoAdapter. If the name of extraData
# is changed, we will have problem with serialization.
-keep class * extends io.getstream.chat.android.client.api2.model.dto.ExtraDataDto {
    public kotlin.collections.Map extraData;
 }

# Rules necessary for R8 full mode
-keep class io.getstream.chat.android.client.api2.endpoint.** { *; }
-keep class io.getstream.chat.android.client.call.RetrofitCall { *; }
-keep class com.squareup.moshi.JsonReader
-keep class com.squareup.moshi.JsonAdapter
-keep class kotlin.reflect.jvm.internal.* { *; }

# Rules to improve the logs by keeping the names of the classes
-keep class * extends io.getstream.chat.android.client.clientstate.UserState

# Classes that are used by reflection.
-keep class io.getstream.chat.android.client.notifications.ChatPushDelegate { *; }
