I was wondering if there was a way to alleviate this problem I’m having with kotlin/swift interoperability.
I have a generic interface in Kotlin

interface Repository<T> {
    fun add(model: T): Boolean
}

I have another interface that conforms to `Repository`:

interface TestModelRepository : Repository<TestModel> {
      override fun add(model: TestModel): Boolean
   }

When I have a class in Swift that conforms to TestModelRepository
class SwiftTestModelRepository: TestModelRepository it wants me to implement both add methods. One with type id and one with type TestModel. I only want to implement one of them.
Is there a workaround for this where I only implement the overridden one from TestModelRespository and not from the generic Repository?
As a backup I can only declare add in TestModelRepository and remove it from Repository but this will make the code less clean as I want to have many more repositories that conform to Repository and would like to reuse the add method.

Thank you for providing this case.

Unfortunately, Swift seems to imply restrictions that are stricter than expected: Swift compiler doesn’t consider these two methods with same Objective-C selector as the same method.
As a workaround, you can stop using generics here.

Ah okay, thanks

Also this Kotlin interface can be implemented in Objective-C.
