Why are all the Android WorkManager ktx functions deprecated, is there any replacement? https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/work/ktx/package-summary

Joking 🤔?

It's not documented, but there's a

CoroutineWorker

to derive from with

override suspend fun doWork(): Result

, nice no?

I (jokingly) implying that WorkManager is not needed in the light of Coroutines.

They're two different concepts, WorkManager manages task scheduling in Android when your app is NOT running https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/workmanager/basics
