Why am i getting kotlin.UninitializedPropertyAccessException even if lateinit property is initialized (probably)

Ok so I declared a lateinit var job in a widget as below.

class TempHumidDisplayWidget : AppWidgetProvider(), CoroutineScope {
    private lateinit var job: Job
    override val coroutineContext: CoroutineContext
        get() = Dispatchers.Main + job
    ...

In the onEnabled function, i initialized it:

override fun onEnabled(context: Context) {
    job = Job()
    Log.i("com.github.animeshz", "On enabled")
    ...

And inside the onUpdate function I am going to use launch which calls the get function of coroutineContext for dispatching a coroutine, which uses the job variable.

override fun onUpdate(
    context: Context,
    appWidgetManager: AppWidgetManager,
    appWidgetIds: IntArray
) {
    // There may be multiple widgets active, so update all of them
    for (appWidgetId in appWidgetIds) {
        launch { updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId) }
    }
}

And inside the logcat, I am getting the following error:

4425-4425/? I/com.github.animeshz: On enabled

It is clear that onEnabled is called before the onUpdate method but the job variable is not initialized somehow, I don't know how to fix or debug it further

How is this possible that the job variable initialized in the onEnabled is actually not initialized in the onUpdate function? Is this a bug or something?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

This is just spitballing, since I don't know details of widgets in Android, but something like this could work:

class TempHumidDisplayWidget : AppWidgetProvider() {
    companion object {
        val jobs = mutableMapOf<Context, Job>()

        fun getScope(context: Context): CoroutineScope {
            val job = jobs[context] ?: throw IllegalStateException("Context $context not enabled currently")
            return object : CoroutineScope { 
                override val coroutineContext: CoroutineContext = Dispatchers.Main + job
                ...
            }
        }
    }

    override fun onEnabled(context: Context) {
        jobs[context] = Job()
        ...
    }

    override fun onDisabled(context: Context) {
        jobs.remove(context)?.cancel()
        ...
    }

    override fun onUpdate(
        context: Context,
        appWidgetManager: AppWidgetManager,
        appWidgetIds: IntArray
    ) {
        val scope = getScope(context)
        for (appWidgetId in appWidgetIds) {
            scope.launch { updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId) }
        }
    }
}

It's generally a bad idea to keep references to Contexts "statically", but this could be all right because they are removed in onDisabled. Or maybe use WeakHashMap instead.
