The last last thing, is there a reason why you are not using https://developer.android.com/kotlin/parcelize ?
This solution was used before parcelize

I use parcelize, but I wanted to unit test a quite tricky use case, where one of the attribute of my parcelable object is of type Any, so I have to to the write(parcel: Parcel, flags: Int) and the create(parcel: Parcel) by myself.

Those two approaches do the same thing in a different way, therefore UT your prod code using this approach would actually not test the same functionality.
Did you consider using epresso tests for your current implementation?

I can only use pure unit test, since I'm working on a Flutter project (so there is no integration testing available, therefore I can't use Espresso).
But that's ok, I'll find another way, thanks.

I also work with flutter and you can write Espresso tests there. You can check out this link

Oh cool, I didn't know, thanks for the link!

The issue comes from getParcelable now correctly being annotated with @Nullable.
You can update the unmarshallParcelable return type to R? to fix this issue.
