Hello folks, I have a question regarding `iosMain` because it says we can use ios spesific API inside it. Can we use `DispatchQueue` inside `iosMain` ? (If you don't know, `DispatchQueue` is the common ios API that we use for background processing stuff)

Somehow I can't find a way to import and use it in `iosMain`

Yes, you can. But note, the API is not the Swift API. The type is `dispatch_queue_t` in Objective-C.

For example:
```dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.convert(), 0.convert())) {
    // some background work
}```

Nice, thanks for the example <@UFX38V9SB>. Btw I'm curious, what should we do if we want to do API call inside `dispatch_async(){}` ?, should we launch a coroutine first ?

i wouldnt mix both dispatch queue and coroutines, it sounds like it could get very tricky to debug.

why wouldnt you just use coroutines in KMP scope
