in kotlin native, can we use NSURL for the network stack? (trying to find ktor alternative)

sure https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/67f553d503851423a94aa5fa1280880e36473948/samples/objc/src/objcMain/kotlin/Window.kt#L104

Thanks Nikolay!

One gotcha to be aware of is that NSURLSession will call your call back on a background thread. It is up to you to switch over to the main thread (GCD or other mechanism).

Is there a way to set the NSURLRequest.HTTPMethod to "GET"?

That's a common pattern with the Cocoa frameworks.

very interesting. how did you figure that out?

I came to Kotlin after doing over 5 years of iOS development. It's just one of those things you learn when learning Obj-C.

ahhhh! i'm glad you told me about that quirk about NSURLSessions
