Also, is it possible to use Channels in iOS?

Channels, no. Coroutines on native are not multithreaded.
I rolled a very basic implementation here for sqldelight: https://github.com/touchlab/DroidconKotlin/tree/master/sessionize/lib/src/commonMain/kotlin/co/touchlab/sessionize/architecture
@basher may have a library coming soon, but I’m not sure about their timeline…

Channel"Channels provide a way to transfer a stream of values." according to https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coroutines/channels.html.
Without multi-threaded, it is still helpful to write concurrent logic
