Is there anyone successfully using ktor on ios via kotlin multiplatform?

I gave up trying 6-12 months ago in favor of my own home-grown (but hacky) solution, but curious if the kinks ever got worked out.

I’m using ktor http client in a multiplatform library running on iOS and JVM/Android. So far, so good.

[tulio]

Do you remember what was the issue you were facing?

[divyanshunegi]

Yup, I am using ktor for both android and iOS currently in my project, its not in production but still under development, so far all works fine

[Aleksandr Ivanov]

Same for me. Using it in multiplatform library for both iOS and Android.

[Brendan Weinstein]

Sweet -- I'll give it another try. I was running into occasional freeze exceptions within ktor

[Aleksandr Ivanov]

Yes, you should use it carefully and use -native-mt version of coroutines to avoid freeze exceptions.

[Brendan Weinstein]

was using native-mt back then as well

[Brendan Weinstein]

haven't done a new deploy yet, but working smoothly with local testing. great work ktor team!

Do you guys think -native-mt is production ready? I’m not using it yet after seeing this information in the documentation:

Using multithreaded coroutines may result in memory leaks. This can be a problem for complex coroutine scenarios under load. We are working on a solution for this.
