[Sebastien Leclerc Lavallee]

I can't tell you if it's possible to call it from Kotlin. But I can tell you it's a really bad idea to call this method. It's called automatically when some object is deinit/deallocated

[Lena Brusilovski]

i dont want to call it manually, i want to override the content of it

[Sebastien Leclerc Lavallee]

If you are creating a standalone class (no subclass), I would say just to have a fun deinit {} is fine

[Lena Brusilovski]

i will try

deinit is a Swift mechanism. The ObjC version is dealloc. You might get somewhere with overriding that but I doubt it. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject/1571947-dealloc
