kaptReleaseKotlin fails when Room is updated to 2.7.2

Hello! Having this issue when androidx.room is updated to version 2.7.2:

error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'androidx.room.compiler.processing.XAnnotationBox androidx.room.compiler.processing.XTypeElement.getAnnotation(kotlin.reflect.KClass)'

Seems like androidx.room:room-compiler-processing version 2.6.0-alpha01 (bundled with Epoxy compiler) is incompatible with version 2.7.2 (bundled with Room compiler).

Can I somehow use latest version of Room and latest version of Epoxy?
Maybe resolutionStrategy can help to have different versions of androidx.room:room-compiler-processing for these compilers?

Seems like this combination helps to get rid of compilation errors:

ksp 'androidx.room:room-compiler:2.7.2'
kapt 'com.airbnb.android:epoxy-processor:5.1.4'

I also encountered this problem.

I managed to resolve the problem by separating the version of room and room-compiler

androidx.room:room-compiler-processing:2.6.2

To fully resolve the issue, a migration is required from XAnnotationBox to XAnnotation
