Typically in iOS when creating UITableViewController subclass, its easy to have that subclass implements the UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate protocols. When doing so in K/N I get a "Conflicting Overloads" error for override fun tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath: NSIndexPath): UITableViewCell from the data source protocol and override fun tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath: NSIndexPath) from the delegate protocol . Is this a known issue and is there a work around besides putting the two methods in different classes?

Kotlin doesn’t allow you to implement the same method of different interfaces, it’s expected behaviour.

[gildor]

Instead you can implement one of the interfaces separately as anonymous class and delegate call to another implementation

Actually in this case (when overriding Objective-C methods) these two methods are different, so it is possible to override both separately. The problem is that the compiler currently needs some help to accept it: try adding @Suppress("CONFLICTING_OVERLOADS") annotation to the class.

@svyatoslav.scherbina worked like a charm. Thx👍

Ha, Interesting, but why those methods are different? Looks like the same signature on Kotlin side?

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

Because those aren’t Kotlin methods, but Objective-C ones, and thus should have different overloading policy (based on selectors).
Compiler frontend doesn’t know about this yet.

I see, interesting

[drofwarcs]

Those two methods are also different with respect to the return type. Does K/N not take return type into consideration for method signatures?

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

Kotlin doesn’t, so the same is true for Kotlin/Native.

Good to know. Thanks.
