I’ve been banging my head on this for a minute and could use some help:

I’m trying to use ktor in an MPP iOS/Android project. As far as I can tell, you have to be able to use Coroutines to do this.

I can get coroutines importing on gradle 4.10.2 to Android and the core thing, but they don’t work on iOS. I’m seeing some stuff about needing 4.7, but that’s not working either.

Anyone got suggestions for how/if I can actually get this to work?

[Ellen Shapiro]

Using Kotlin 1.3, ktor 1.0.0-b3, coroutines 1.0.0, kotlin native 1.0.0

You definitely need 4.7 for the iOS side, but there might be something else missing. Do you have enableFeaturePreview('GRADLE_METADATA') in your settings.gradle file?

[Ellen Shapiro]

yeah, definitely

OK going back through it seems like the problem starts when I add an empty dependencies block for iosMain

[Ellen Shapiro]

i know that’s case sensitive…

[Ellen Shapiro]

OK. i think that might have been the problem.

After I changed something I’d set up to be iOS to ios

and then deleted everythign i’d been trying and tried again

it worked 🙂

Oh yeah that's pretty subtle. I've seen both versions in various samples so it's easy to get mixed up.
