What is the entry point for squareup.okio on the shared code? The doc uses File which is only a jvm type
Oh, nvm, I just looked at the source code and noticed that only jvm is implemented 😅

So, what is the best way for handle files on shared code? Basically I need to write a file and read its name

So, I did this recently have not tested this quite well on iOS so you might need to test it well.
But what you need is to define expect declarations in common module and then actual declarations in iosMain and androidMain (jvm implementation).
For eg:

In common,
expect class FileUtils(path: String) {
    fun readFile(): String
}
In androidMain,
actual class FileUtils actual    constructor(path: String){
   fun readFile() = File(path).readText()
}
In ioS main similarly,
you can do in actual NSString.stringWithContentsOfFile(
                    rootPath,
                    NSUTF8StringEncoding,
                    null
            )

I don't really need to read the content of the file, but write an archive (let's suppose it's a zip) to disk and read the file names into a folder

[Amanjeet Singh]

yup all file dependent features are platform dependent then in this case of zip you need to create zip in JVM and ios in both actuals .

I was hoping in a MP library

Yup I also tried to find it but couldn't let me also know if you find one.
