t
Tony
10/30/2019, 6:27 PMMake function A() in the kotlin multiplatform common that has a kotlinx coroutines that launches a suspend function. Then on the iOS side, call function A()

10/30/2019, 7:02 PMKotlin code running in iOS can call suspend functions. Suspend functions are not exposed to ObjC/Swift since there is nothing equivalent in those languages.
