Serializer has not been found for type 'Any'

Im trying to serialize a Json file. But there's many variables with the type 'Any', and the @Serializable annotation is not working with this type. I've tried to do exactly like the answer in this question: Kotlin serialization: Serializer has not been found for type 'UUID' But the problem is that there is no "from string()" function for the type 'Any'. Is there a solution for this?

Edit: This is some of the data classes

    @Serializable
data class ApiResponse(
    val data:List<ApiResponseItem> = emptyList()
)


@Serializable
data class ApiResponseItem(
    @SerializedName("cards")
    val cards: List<Any>? = null,
    @SerializedName("country_id")
    val country_id: String? = null,
    @SerializedName("country_logo")
    val country_logo: String? = null,
    @SerializedName("country_name")
    val country_name: String? = null,
    @SerializedName("fk_stage_key")
    val fk_stage_key: String? = null,
    @SerializedName("goalscorer")
     val goalscorer: List<Any>? = null,

    val league_id: String? = null,

    val league_logo: String? = null,

    val league_name: String? = null,

    val league_year: String? = null,
    @SerializedName("lineup")

Simply put, you can't make a class Serializable when it has fields of type Any. It's simply not possible because Any can quite literally be anything, including classes that are not Serializable. Try defining them more specific. I can assume that

val cards: List<Any>? = null,

is actually maybe

val cards: List<Card>? = null,

As long as you make sure that the types you put there are Serializable it should work
