NoSuchFieldError while building an HttpClient in Kotlin for Elasticsearch on Android

Question

I am working on an Android application written in Kotlin that needs to perform a POST operation in Elasticsearch. However, when I try to execute the following line of code:

var client: HttpClient = clientBuilder.build()

I get a NoSuchFieldError with the following message:

I am using the following dependencies in my project:

import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.TextView
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import co.elastic.clients.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchClient
import co.elastic.clients.elasticsearch.core.SearchResponse
import co.elastic.clients.json.jackson.JacksonJsonpMapper
import co.elastic.clients.transport.ElasticsearchTransport
import co.elastic.clients.transport.rest_client.RestClientTransport
import com.google.android.gms.analytics.ecommerce.Product
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpHost
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.FileEntity;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient
import java.io.File

Here's a code snippet to better understand what I am trying to do:

try {
    val fileName = "C:\\gbif_geo.json"
    val jsonFile = File(fileName)
    val entity =FileEntity(jsonFile,ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    val post = HttpPost("http://localhost:9200/_bulk")
    post.entity = entity
    val clientBuilder = HttpClientBuilder.create()
    var client: HttpClient = clientBuilder.build()//error line
    post.addHeader("content-type", "text/plain")
    post.addHeader("Accept", "text/plain")
    val response: HttpResponse = client.execute(post)
    println("Response: $response")
}catch (e: Exception){
    t.setText("error")
}

Can anyone help me understand what's causing this error and how to fix it? Thanks in advance for your help!
