Kotlin - SimpleDateFormat parsing takes infinite time

Question

I am trying to parse date string with SimpleDateFormat which never stops nor gives any exception. Please see the code below,

fun getDate(dateStr: String) {

    try {
        /** DEBUG dateStr = '2006-04-16T04:00:00Z' **/
        val formatter = SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ", Locale.ENGLISH)
        val mDate = formatter.parse(dateStr) // this never ends while debugging
    } catch (e: Exception){
        Logger.e("Error $e") // this never gets called either
    }
}

What can be the possible issue?

Note: I am using,

Android Studio: 3.4.1, Kotlin version: 1.3.31, Min SDK: 23, Target SDK: 28, Compile SDK: 28

Use below function

fun getDate(dateStr: String) {
        try {
            /** DEBUG dateStr = '2006-04-16T04:00:00Z' **/
            val formatter = SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'", Locale.ENGLISH)
            val mDate = formatter.parse(dateStr) // this never ends while debugging
            Log.e("mDate", mDate.toString())
        } catch (e: Exception){
            Log.e("mDate",e.toString()) // this never gets called either
        }
    }
