Is there any workaround to avoid

@Throws

annotation and handle the error on the native platform side. For example I have function in kotlin native that can throw

SocketTimeoutException

, Is there anyway to handle it on the iOS side without adding the

@Throws

annotation on my function?

Convert to using return types like

Result

instead of throwing an exception.

yeah that seems like an option. But feels weird to catch all the exceptions the function can potentially throw and wrap it to a return type. @mkrussel anychance you have used

unhandledExceptionHook

before? https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.native/set-unhandled-exception-hook.html

No. Right now I only use exceptions for programmers bugs and don't handle them. Anything that is expected like IOExceptions, I catch at the point of the IO and convert to result type objects. I feel this is safer, since Kotlin doesn't have checked exceptions. There also aren't that many places where I would have used checked exceptions (pretty much just IO work).

gotcha. That makes sense. Thank you for the prompt replies, appreciate it.
