In the latest Ktor version 1.4.1 I was able to freeze the Ktor client and still make network requests. That is really great, thanks a lot for making this possible. I was wondering if using the

Ios

engine from

Dispatchers.Default

is supported, too? I tried that and get an

IncorrectDereferenceException

from Ktor code. When I modify the Ktor

io.ktor.client.engine.ios.IosClientEngine

code (and related files in the same package) by adding some

freeze()

calls, it works fine when called from

Dispatchers.Default

. Is this expected behaviour at this time?

Hey, thanks. We really going to improve iOS experience in future and adding

Dispatchers.Default

support is the next step

Hey, that is great news!

That will prevent fall, but will not force to work in the dispatcher thread. That's also nice to fix, could you make a PR?

@e5l What exactly would you like me to create a PR for? Only adding the freeze calls like above or also fixing the dispatcher thread? I am not sure how to force it to work in the dispatcher thread.

I'm about the first part of fix. I'm going to research the second part

I also noticed that instead of using freeze directly you use makeShared in Ktor. Which one of those would you like me to use in the PR?

makeShared

is for common code, in native you can use

freeze

or

makeShared

@e5l Ok, here is a PR: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/pull/2092

Thanks, will take a look
