If I have a Kotlin lib that does something asyncronously in the background, and returns a stream of data, what’s the best way to expose that from Kotlin to be consumed from Swift? For Android I’m returning it as a Flow .

I'm currently using this. https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlinconf-app/blob/master/common/src/mobileMain/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlinconf/FlowUtils.kt

Interesting! I don’t love it, but it seems reasonable. Thanks!

Yeah. Suspend functions don't have interop so this would do for now.

Can confirm. I made a working version of a VM using this FlowUtil. It seems to work ok for this use case
