java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lkotlin/time/MonoClock

I have recently updated the version of Kotlin to 1.3.70 in my Android project.

Since then Koin (version: 2.1.0-beta-1 ) is giving me the run time error below:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lkotlin/time/MonoClock;
