'Error "Parcelable encountered IOException reading a Serializable object"

I created a navigation system to navigate to correct fragment based on Destination object which I send with Intent as Parcelable extra

@Serializable
sealed class Destination : Parcelable {

    abstract val destinationType: Type

    abstract val destinationFragment: Fragment

    enum class Type(val defaultDestination: Destination) {
        DASHBOARD(Dashboard),
        GRADE(Grade),
        ATTENDANCE(Attendance),
        EXAM(Exam),
        TIMETABLE(Timetable()),
        HOMEWORK(Homework),
        NOTE(Note),
        CONFERENCE(Conference),
        SCHOOL_ANNOUNCEMENT(SchoolAnnouncement),
        SCHOOL(School),
        LUCKY_NUMBER(More),
        MORE(More),
        MESSAGE(Message);
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object Dashboard : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.DASHBOARD
        override val destinationFragment get() = DashboardFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object Grade : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.GRADE
        override val destinationFragment get() = GradeFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object Attendance : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.ATTENDANCE
        override val destinationFragment get() = AttendanceFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object Exam : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.EXAM
        override val destinationFragment get() = ExamFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    data class Timetable(
        @Serializable(with = LocalDateSerializer::class)
        private val date: LocalDate? = null
    ) : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.TIMETABLE
        override val destinationFragment get() = TimetableFragment.newInstance(date)
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object Homework : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.HOMEWORK
        override val destinationFragment get() = HomeworkFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object Note : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.NOTE
        override val destinationFragment get() = NoteFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object Conference : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.CONFERENCE
        override val destinationFragment get() = ConferenceFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object SchoolAnnouncement : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.SCHOOL_ANNOUNCEMENT
        override val destinationFragment get() = SchoolAnnouncementFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object School : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.SCHOOL
        override val destinationFragment get() = SchoolFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object LuckyNumber : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.LUCKY_NUMBER
        override val destinationFragment get() = LuckyNumberFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object More : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.MORE
        override val destinationFragment get() = MoreFragment.newInstance()
    }

    @Parcelize
    @Serializable
    object Message : Destination() {
        override val destinationType get() = Type.MESSAGE
        override val destinationFragment get() = MessageFragment.newInstance()
    }
}

This works perfectly on my devices. I released an app to the Google Play store. I noticed later in Firebase that a small part of users have this error

I can't reproduce this error on my devices or on android emulator.
