i seem to be experiencing a deadlock in `<http://HttpClient.post|HttpClient.post>` on iOS. the method never returns. it's called from within a `runBlocking` block from the main thread (from a unit test). has anyone experienced this?

I have verified the server is responding. it's also running on my machine.

unfortunately I can't debug because iOS unit tests are run on the iOS simulator via command line.

Hi <@UGCM6H67J>, `runBlocking` doesn’t work with iOS right now(but we’re working on it)

Here is the details about using iOS client: <https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/678>

wow. I believe you guys really need to call this out somewhere in the docs. otherwise it's not possible to use Ktor in an MPP library with an iOS target.

I can't seem to find a workaround. the suggestion on the issue report ends up causing "There is no event loop. Use runBlocking { ... } to start one."
