I’m trying to work around the absence of suspend functions and made something similar as in @Sam example here: https://github.com/samus/mpp_chuck_demo/blob/master/app/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/synappticlabs/chuck/network/JokeApiClient.kt#L39

but get this error:

launchAndCatchInstances of kotlin.Error, kotlin.RuntimeException and subclasses aren't propagated from Kotlin to Objective-C/Swift.
Other exceptions can be propagated as NSError if method has or inherits @Throws annotation.
Uncaught Kotlin exception: kotlin.IllegalStateException: There is no event loop. Use runBlocking { ... } to start one.

any help would be really appreciated 🙂
