Does the kotlin stdlib provide a way to get the current timestamp, or am I imagining that that was added?

Deffinitely not in stdlib (not at common level, at least)

It's amazing how 2 people halfway across the world have the same issue at the same time - regarding time 🙂 Ran into the same today . Got around it by having my common method rely on an input parameter. The calling code can supply that.

Easiest workaround is to just have an expect function that's wired to platform specific APIs

Oh yes ! That is so much better. Thanks :)
