Copy code
GlobalScope.launch(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
textView.text = "New Text"
}g

Actually I'm not 100% sure that setText actually has assert for UI thread, I believe some methods of view just silently fail without exception

I was thinking that maybe coroutine starts so fast that in the beginning these asserts somehow don't notice the thread switch 😁
