Kotlin 1.7 says that it doesn’t allow exceptions to cross the objc bridge now. Isn’t this a bad thing?

If I provide a Kotlin native library that makes a network call and it gets an HTTP Exception, I can no longer allow the calling code to handle the exception? Is that correct?

It looks like the Throws annotation still works as before. You just have to make sure to add the annotation to your Kotlin method.

It looks like this was always what they expected, but there were some places where exceptions made it through. It looks like they’re just cleaning these up for consistency.
