I'm trying to access 
Thread.currentThread()
from a Kotlin Mobile Multiplatform project to check that I am in the main thread, but it doesn't seem accessible. Are my missing something? Is there another way?

There is no such a thing like Thread in common source set. But you can expect/actual.

Copy code
expect fun isMainThread(): Boolean
actual fun isMainThread(): Boolean = Looper.getMainLooper() == Looper.myLooper()
(assuming you’ve got an android sourceset ofc)

If you're trying to do the same 
actual
for iOS, it would be something like this
Copy code
import platform.Foundation.NSThread

actual fun currentThreadName() = "iOS thread ${NSThread.currentThread()} is main: ${NSThread.isMainThread()}"
