I have caught kotlin.TypeCastException while using coroutine’s async/await in common when running on iOS. But it works well on Android. Any advice to go about this?

Thanks, I saw the closed issue about using delay caused TypeCastException but it is actually IllegalStateException because the dispatcher doesn’t implement the Delay interface.

So we will have to implement the Deferred<Unit> (Generic is not available K/N) in to a custom dispatcher class?

Are there any examples to go about it?

Could you clarify, do you encounter TypeCastException or IllegalStateException?

How is Deferred related?

https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/470, The temporary solution to solving TypeCastException for using delay is to implement Delay to the class subclassing CoroutineDispatcher(). So if I am not mistaken, the problem to TypeCastException to using async/await is the implementation of the Deferred interface in class that subclass CoroutineDispatcher().

Do you mean Deferred or Delay?

I believe there is one in the comments to the issue.
