for smart only, I have this implementation to AuthenticationPort

class AuthenticationAdapter: AuthenticationPort {
func __signIn(parameterName: String) async throws -> Result2<Auth0User, shared.AuthenticationError> {
    do {
      let credentials = try await Auth0.webAuth()
        .connection(parameterName)
        .scope("openid profile email offline_access read:current_user update:current_user_metadata")
        .audience("https://" + clientInfo.domain + "/api/v2/")
        .start()
}

....
}

Is there any benefits of using SKIE like concurrency , and do we need to ask Task {}
the function call from kotlin @kevin.cianfarini @russhwolf

[kevin.cianfarini]

I dont use SKIE and I barely know swift. Why was I tagged on this?

[pers]

I tought you Kevin Galligan the creator of skia sorry

[Pamela Hill]

Hi, @kpgalligan is the real Kevin Galligan 😉

[Pamela Hill]

SKIE will help with cancellation, yes you will need Task AFAIK for calling a suspend function. I'm not familiar with AuthenticationPort, where are you getting the code?

[pers]

thank you , just asking about
1. overriding suspend fun in swift
2. call overridden function from kotlin
how kotlin is going to handle this

[Pamela Hill]

Whoa. I can ask my team when they are back tomorrow. My guess is it's going to call the original function.

[pers]

thank you ☺️

[Pamela Hill]

If you have a reproducing repo, that will be super helpful in guiding them to help you

1. overriding suspend fun in swift

2. call overridden function from kotlin

This is a @Tadeas Kriz question for sure. Suspend functions in SKIE are different than the default ones that the Kotlin compiler produces, and I don't know how overriding them in Swift would be handed in the SKIE context.

[pers]

@Tadeas Kriz thank you , does SKIE add any concurrency benefits or main thread safety ?

[Tadeas Kriz]

SKIE adds support for calling Kotlin suspend functions from any Swift thread, so you no longer need @MainActor for those call and can call Kotlin suspend functions like any other Swift async functions. I'm not sure what you mean by "main thread safety"?

[pers]

is there ant workaround rather than "This limitation can be solved without SKIE by passing a special configuration flag to the compiler" to remove @MainActor

[Tadeas Kriz]

Removing @MainActor might not be what you want. It depends on the semantics of your Swift code. If you decide you don't need @MainActor, you can either pass in the flag to the compiler, or use SKIE. SKIE also give you cancelation support when calling Kotlin suspend from Swift.

Thank you so much
