here you have a error in error handling -

override fun adapt(call: Call<R>): Observable<R> {
            val adapted = (_wrappedCallAdapter.adapt(call) as Observable<R>)
            adapted.onErrorResumeNext { throwable: Throwable ->     //need return here
                Observable.error(asRetrofitException(throwable))
            }

            return adapted .   //and not here
        }

@abbath0767

adapted.onErrorResumeNext { throwable: Throwable ->     //need return here
                Observable.error(asRetrofitException(throwable))
            }

The return here can be omitted.

return adapted .   //and not here

This return statement is necessary of the adapt method.

Crashing here:

val adapted = (_wrappedCallAdapter.adapt(call) as Observable<R>)

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: io.reactivex.internal.operators.observable.ObservableSingleSingle cannot be cast to io.reactivex.Observable
at ...$RxCallAdapterWrapper.adapt(RxErrorHandlingCallAdapterFactory.kt:37)
at ...$RxCallAdapterWrapper.adapt(RxErrorHandlingCallAdapterFactory.kt:28)

retrofit 2.7.1

Edit: The reason was that my call was returning Single instead of Observable.

To fix this Crash :
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: io.reactivex.internal.operators.observable.ObservableSingleSingle cannot be cast to io.reactivex.Observable
at ...$RxCallAdapterWrapper.adapt(RxErrorHandlingCallAdapterFactory.kt:37)
at ...$RxCallAdapterWrapper.adapt(RxErrorHandlingCallAdapterFactory.kt:28)

Solution :
override fun adapt(call: Call): Any {
return when (val result = _wrappedCallAdapter.adapt(call)) {
is Single<> -> result.onErrorResumeNext(Function { throwable -> Single.error(asOneAppServiceException(throwable)) })
is Observable<> -> result.onErrorResumeNext(Function { throwable -> Observable.error(asOneAppServiceException(throwable)) })
is Completable -> result.onErrorResumeNext(Function { throwable -> Completable.error(asOneAppServiceException(throwable)) })
is Flowable<*> -> result.onErrorResumeNext(Function { throwable -> Flowable.error(asOneAppServiceException(throwable)) })
else -> result
}
