A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

This might be a very basic question, and I know there is an `expect/actual` answer to this question, but I cant seem to figure it out. We are using `Klock` to handle dates in our mpp project. How can we expose this type as a `NSDate` for the ios platform?

Hello! These classes are not equivalent, so the only option will be to provide a function that takes a `Klock` instance as an input and has an `NSDate` return type. As the function has to have access to the `platform.Foundation.NSDate`, it should be written in the native source set of an Apple target.

But what should be the return type of the `expect` function that calls the platform defined functions?

I meant something like adding extension function `Klock.toNSDate()` to the native source set, not expect-actual machinery. I’m not sure that it would work,  got to think some more on this problem

Ah, good idea! Unsure how this would be translated into obj-c tho, does it support extension functions?

Please come back to me if you want me to try out anything!
