java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not deserialize object. Expected a List, but got a class java.lang.String (found in field 'image')

The above error is showing when I want to open the app on my mobile phone. But it works normally on emulator.

The model class is:

data class Product(
    var charge: List<String>? = emptyList(),
    var description: String? = "",
    var id: String? = "",
    var image: List<String>? = emptyList(),
    var name: String? = "",
    var priceA: List<String>? = emptyList(),
    var priceD: List<String>? = emptyList(),
    var quantity: List<String>? = emptyList(),
    var size: List<String>? = emptyList(),
    var tag: List<String>? = emptyList()
) : Parcelable

Data retrieving code from Firestore DataBase :

db.addSnapshotListener { snapshot, e->
                if(e!=null){
                    return@addSnapshotListener
                }
                productList = snapshot!!.toObjects(Product::class.java)
                adapter = Adapter(productList, this@HomeActivity, ProductInterface::class.java)
                fireStoreList.adapter = adapter
                fireStoreList.setHasFixedSize(true)
                fireStoreList.layoutManager = GridLayoutManager(this@HomeActivity, 2)
                hideProgress()
            }

structure of data in Firestore Database:

image

It seems that when you have more than one Image it response as a List of Images but somehow when you have only one Image it response it as a String thats why you have deserialization error. Unfortunately, the deserializer cannot put a String to a List of Strings
