I have hex string (bytes), and i need convert to normal string. Is it something like data.toByteArray().contentToString() ?

From INTEROP.md:

val path = getenv("PATH")?.toKString() ?: ""

@msink your answer leaked to other thread 😉

There is an API for that: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/cb4e5399d41d057fbe491211d6052c4b8c7d8b53/runtime/src/main/kotlin/kotlin/text/StringBuilder.kt#L34

Do you mean, that there is no available implementation or library for that?

ByteArray.stringFromUtf8

does what you ask for

hm... this method is not available to me

import

kotlin.text

package

I have gradle project with compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.2.30". I could use StringBuilder and ByteArray in project. This method is not available. Even if i explicitly add "import kotlin.text.*" in source file

this method is Kotlin/Native specific

Do I understood correctly, that there is no generic method, that could be used in "common" kotlin code, that will be them compiled to each platform?

yes, but nobody prevents you from writing one using MPP

ok, thx 🙂

@Konstantin Petrukhnov if you need a MPP function for that, to use before String<->ByteArray conversions are avaialble for MPP, you can use (copy-paste and adjust as needed) this one in the meantime: https://github.com/soywiz/start-ktor-io-proposal/blob/master/src/io/ktor/start/util/charset.kt https://github.com/soywiz/start-ktor-io-proposal/blob/master/src/io/ktor/start/util/baos.kt

Ran into that as well. Is there a roadmap which functions will be implemented for iOS in the future? Can I expect to get all functions on iOS which are currently supported by jvm?
