The GrpcGenerated class is introduced in v1.40. If you generate the stub classes with the plugin io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:1.40.1, they will contain GrpcGenerated, and you must also use grpc v1.40.1 for your client, e.g.:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.grpc</groupId>
    <artifactId>grpc-stub</artifactId>
    <version>1.40.1</version>
</dependency>

Thank you @dapengzhang0 for the comment, I'm using https://github.com/yidongnan/grpc-spring-boot-starter and I see that they are using the grpc version 1.37.0 https://github.com/yidongnan/grpc-spring-boot-starter/blob/master/build.gradle#L15
