To establish the Event Loop required to use Ktor in iOS, should I put the whole content of the main function inside runBlocking? I'm aware that only the main thread can be used for coroutines at present, and have created a main thread Dispatcher, but launching with this dispatcher - according to the error I'm receiving - does not set up an Event Loop.

Hi @darkmoon_uk, runBlocking doesn't cooperate with NSQueue for now(details: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/770). To execute request you can use launch or async in Dispatchers.Unconfined.
