Hello, is there a way to retrieve the class name of an anonymous class? I have a usecase where I’m passing some objects from Swift to KMP, but when trying to retrieve the class name via object::class I only get class <anonymous> so calling any of the ::simpleName or calling getOriginalClassName on it just returns null

anonymous = no name

[Alberto]

makes sense, I guess I’m not too sure why the object becomes “anonymous” when in KMP

[ephemient]

where is it coming from? if it's an object expression (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/object-declarations.html#object-expressions) then it should be anonymous on all platforms

It’s an instance of a Swift Class that I pass to a KMP class which accepts Any as param. Something like class Entry(val t: Any) then if I do entry.t::class returns it as anonymous

[ephemient]

ah, so KClass doesn't work for ObjectiveC/Swift classes. you might need NSStringFromClass([t class]) or equivalent. I think you can start from

t.`class`

but I don't have macos here to test

[Alberto]

that would be from Swift side right?

[ephemient]

t.class should work in K/N, although the method name class needs to be escaped with backticks (which is difficult to render in Slack markdown). NSStringFromClass might need to be invoked from Swift or Obj-C though, I can't play around with the interop here
