Hey! I am using ktor ios engine to make get requests. However, making get requests using client.get&lt;String&gt;(url) results in cinterop error as the native compiler treats get as cinterop function instead of the ktor function. Is there a way to force the compiler? Also, with multithreading not supported in native coroutines, I wonder if there is a way to avoid ui freezing while calking client. 

you can offload computations to a worker (<https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/49eee47d7e7137df3c7fb52a91e8db6561491e28/samples/workers/src/main/kotlin/Workers.kt#L11>) or async queue (<https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/49eee47d7e7137df3c7fb52a91e8db6561491e28/samples/objc/src/main/kotlin/Window.kt#L34>) on Native explicitly. I am not aware of any `get` function in interop.

The build error for get says:
