We just updated our spring boot project from 3.2.4 to 3.3.0 and we faced some issues regarding the awesome lib spring-kafka. Our kafka listeners that are ack-mode=record and expecting as parameter a kafka json string message converted to a POJO stopped working as soon as we updated the version.
While debugging the issue we noticed that the message comes as string if we use ConsumerRecord<> but where is expected the serialized POJO is null.
