In bytecode, does a suspend fun only ever return a java/lang/Object ? Can't seem to make it typed.

Yes, because it will return a special value in case the function gets suspended. Would it be type then coroutines won’t work at all.

OK, thank you. So when writing Java interop with Kotlin suspend functions, I'll just have to cast the object as my class?

[Marc Knaup]

Unfortunately it’s not that simple. I suggest looking online for various options how you can interface with Kotlin coroutines from Java code.

You probably want a wrapper function in Kotlin
