Hi, i would like to ask how to handle Coroutines on ios side. In my shared library api calls look like this

fun apiCall() = GlobalScope.async(ApplicationDispatcher) {..}

so in Android code i can do
val returnValue = apiCall().await()
how to handle same flow in iOS ?
I see that return type for this function is

Kotlinx_coroutines_coreDeferred

but there is no await() function available

You can't call suspend functions from Swift. The typical strategy I've seen for handling this is to consume the suspend function from Kotlin/Native, possibly using a lambda or other callback that you pass from Swift. In 1.4 (starting with M2) the compiler will do this for you and generate a callback interface that you can use from Swift without you needing to do extra work
