is it possible to convert a Kotlin ByteArray to Swift Data without copying every byte?

[Jurriaan Mous]

I am using this method for base64 encoding. It does conversion to NSData without copy.

actual fun encode(bytes: ByteArray) = memScoped {
    NSData.create(
        bytesNoCopy = bytes.toCValues().getPointer(this),
        length = bytes.size.toULong()
    ).base64EncodedStringWithOptions(0)
}

i was trying to handle the KotlinByteArray from swift. this looks much better

is there an actual fun on the Android side too or you're just doing swift?
