Does anyone know if Kotlin suspend functions actually suspend on iOS and if so, how is it implemented on iOS?

[louiscad]

About the same way as on the JVM. It's callbacks chains under the hood.

Thanks!

@louiscad sorry to bother you again but I couldn`t find more information about it in the documentation. Are they actually suspending or just blocking the thread?

[louiscad]

They are suspending, which under the hood, is waiting for a callback.

You have access to Continuation in Kotlin/Native as well @Matteo Wohlrapp

[louiscad]

suspendCancellableCoroutine and other suspend primitives wouldn't be able to work just like on JVM and JS without that.

Ok, thanks a lot 😁
