Hey guys i need to use Lock and implementation(“org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-common”) but IOS compains in my project any tips? Is it supported on IOS

Do you mean the <https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines.sync/-mutex/|coroutines mutex lock>?

I currently use private val lock: ReentrantLock = ReentrantLock() and i need something in Kotlin that should work the same way. I am using Mutex but it needs a suspend fun

If you are going to be using kotlin multiplatform, then the coroutines mutex lock is likely the best choice.

It sounds like you're still using Java-based threads right now?

Yep you are right. Might be the best option will look more into that.

Yeah, if you want multiplatform you should convert the Java thread stuff to kotlin coroutines.

System threads are not available on all platforms (in particular, JS), so there's no way to implement most blocking things in a Multiplatform context. Coroutines solve that problem (and are all around much easier to work with).
