Is there any way right now to use Ktor 1.4 with Kotlin/Native? https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-915 seems to indicate you can work around by forcing use of 1.3.8-native-mt-1.4.0-rc of kotlinx coroutines but that's not working for me here at least.

[russhwolf]

I was able to get a bare-bones call working if I use 1.3.9-native-mt and don't use Logger.

[John O'Reilly]

thanks @russhwolf , that worked for me here as well.....just curious....how did you determine that was related?

[russhwolf]

I was trying to update https://github.com/russhwolf/multiplatform-hello last night. Started trying to pare different things down when I saw it wasn't working

[russhwolf]

Didn't merge yet, but if you want to play around, the 1.4.0 branch fails the api client test and crashes when running the app, but the 1.4.0-workarounds branch works

[russhwolf]

This weekend I want to throw up a minimal sample of the logger issue and log a ticket since that part isn't captured by the existing tickets

[John O'Reilly]

It's strange.....with logging removed some of my queries aren't returning any results....I'm using http://api.citybik.es/v2/ and it works for some cities and not others (but works for all if logging is enabled!)

[John O'Reilly]

but of course without logging it's hard to know what's going on 🙂

[John O'Reilly]

just to confuse matters....this is only an issue on Android....works fine (without logging) on iOS and macOS

[John O'Reilly]

(am now btw using CIO for all platforms, other than JS)

[russhwolf]

I haven't touched CIO yet. Since it's apparently Http-only right now, your issue could be around Android trying to enforce https.

[John O'Reilly]

I had to switch to http endpoint for that reason

[John O'Reilly]

seemingly native-mt stuff only works with CIO

[russhwolf]

You probably need a file like this https://github.com/russhwolf/multiplatform-hello/blob/master/android/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml and reference it from your manifest like this https://github.com/russhwolf/multiplatform-hello/blob/master/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L15

[russhwolf]

replace 10.0.2.2 with the domain you're trying to hit

[John O'Reilly]

it is working (on Android) for some of the http requests though (and all of them as mentioned if I enable logging)

[John O'Reilly]

fwiw changes now pushed to https://github.com/joreilly/BikeShare

[russhwolf]

oh yeah in that case 🤷

[John O'Reilly]

@russhwolf hmm, so what I had above was with Android also using CIO.....if I go back to Android using default (based on having io.ktor:ktor-client-android dependency) then I do need that security config. Do you know if that's a new requirement.....had thought I'd been connecting to http endpoints previously without needing that?

[russhwolf]

I think it’s a couple years back

[russhwolf]

I haven’t looked at those docs in a while

[John O'Reilly]

ah, just looked at https://github.com/joreilly/PeopleInSpace again (which uses http endpoint) and see that I'm using android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" for that

[russhwolf]

Oh maybe that’s better and I just keep copy/pasting the same old config without knowing about it

[John O'Reilly]

not sure tbh....hadn't even remembered adding that in there 🙂

[John O'Reilly]

those last set of updates have been merged to BikeShare repo now
