Hi guys, I tried getting started on kotlin native and dont understand whether or not we can use exceptions. What ever I do cannot import IllegalArgumentException in native code. Why is that? Tried searching but didn;t find anywhere stating that this shoudn;t work

You certainly can use exceptions in native — you shouldn’t need to import IllegalArgumentException, though, as kotlin.* classes are imported by default.
You will need to use the kotlin.IllegalArgumentException name, though; in JVM it’s typealiased, but in Native it’s significant.
