Unable to create instance of class com.google.maps.GeocodingApi$Response. Registering an InstanceCreator or a TypeAdapter for this type, or adding a no-args constructor may fix this problem.

Hello, I have a problem running my Java Spring Boot application with a native image.

When searching for an address I get the error:
Unable to create instance of class com.google.maps.GeocodingApi$Response. Registering an InstanceCreator or a TypeAdapter for this type, or adding a no-args constructor may fix this problem.

The error only occurs when compiling with native image, when using JVM the problem does not occur.

Spring Boot: 3.0.6
GraalVM: 22.3.1
JDK: 17

Having the same issue with NearbySearchRequest:

There is a similar behaviour while using TimeZoneApi with Quarkus native images, we need to add annotation RegisterForReflection, but the inner Reponse class is not public, so not able to make it work. Changing the inner class Response to public will solve the issue.

threw an exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create instance of class com.google.maps.TimeZoneApi$Response. Registering an InstanceCreator or a TypeAdapter for this type, or adding a no-args constructor may fix this problem.
