GlobalScope.async {
    while (isActive) {
        println("test")
    }
}

This works on Android and jvm but doesn’t work on iOS. I don’t get any error, it just doesn’t do anything. Is it possible to make it work somehow?

GlobalScope.launch(context = <http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>)

would be fine too I guess but I can’t see

<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>

on iOS 🤔

probably related to https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/462

Oh.. so it's notnsupported yet.. thank you for the link. I think I saw a tweet from @kpgalligan saying that he was able to make it work in his iOS app 🤔

I haven’t been doing anything with GlobalScope, so I don’t know about that. For iOS, if you use the production version of coroutines, they’re single threaded and have other restrictions. There’s a draft PR with support for multiple threads.

I'll try that, thanks!
