ktor | quickly creating connected applications in Kotlin | HTTP library

Hey I am new in the world of Kotlin Multiplatform mobile. I have experience in development of android field. I am trying to connect Android application and Ios application. I searched and see Ktor is the way to fetch data from server. In android we use Kotlin Sealed Classes for Handling API Responses example in your application and in ios side team use Understanding Swift closures and asynchronous request functions similar to these. I am little bit confused, How can I use this way in common module to use both platform because both platform have Interceptor and many more things. Do I need to write everything from scratch? or Is there any way we can use existing way. My both platforms application is huge project. I don't won't to replace the code. I want to start new api call throught KMM using Ktor. Any suggestion or project would be helpful for me. Thanks

I'm using Ktor to make websocket requests.
The method "websocket(...)" I use takes two lambda expressions.

So as I only can call one with curly brackets I have to give the other one via a variable. So I tried this:

I am trying to create an android app with kotlin, this app need to have a mini download manager as I will need to download files from 100MB to 8GB and user can pause and resume download later when the server supports the pause, searching I found the Ktor library and reading the documentation plus some videos on youtube, I managed to write a base code where I could download the files and make the process of stopping the download and keep going all right when one of mine tests gave error there are files whose url pattern is: http://server.com/files?file=/10/55/file.zip

The problem is that I put this link, but Ktor converts to http://server.com/files?file=%2F10%2F55%2Ffile.zip this generate an error response on the server, as I don't have access to the server to change this rule I need to send the right url without encoding. Does anyone know how to do this? Prevent Ktor from doing a URL_encode in the url parameters, I couldn't find anything in the documentation

My code is this:

ktor-client version 1.6.7

I am using ktor for developing a microservice in Kotlin. For testing a method, I need to create a dummy HttpResponse (io.ktor.client.statement.HttpResponse to be specific) object with status = 200 and body = some json data.
Any idea how I can create it?

I have a ktor app. I works fine when I run it in development mode. I package it in a docker image by copying over what the gradle application plugin provided. That also works fine on my local machine 8 cores. But now the strange part. When I do exactly the same thing on a rented V-Server also running Ubuntu-20.04 like my local system, ktor is incredible slow.

I'm writing a Kotlin server using Ktor - where my request handlers are written using Kotlin coroutines.

My understanding is each request handler is run on Ktor's thread pool, which contains far fewer threads than the traditional pool size of 1-thread-per-request server frameworks due to the lightweight/suspendable nature of coroutines. Great!

The issue I have is that my application still needs to interact with some blocking resources (JDBC database connection pool), but my understanding is that if I merely call these blocking APIs directly from the request coroutine I will end up with liveness issues - as I can end up blocking all the threads used to handle my requests! Not great.

Since I'm still relatively new to the world of Kotlin and coroutines, I'm wondering if anyone here can give me some tips on the best way to handle this situation.

I've seen Dispatchers.IO referenced a few times elsewhere. Is that considered the best way to manage these blocking calls? Are there any good examples of this?

The API I'm trying to use does allow for some asyncronicity by passing an Executor. Ideally, I could also wrap these calls in a convenient, idiomatic Kotlin API for suspending transactions.

I am trying to build a KMP library targeting iOS, Android, JS(Browser), Mac, Windows and Linux. For now I am only using Ktor and SQLDelight as a dependency. But getting the following issue in nativeMain's actual implementation while creating driver for SQLDelight

While the same code doesn't give any issue for iOS main which is also using the same NativeSqliteDriver (I need them separately since Ktor client for iOS and desktop platforms are separate). Following is my build.gradle.kts

I've build a KMM project in Android Studio but the ios app seems to not see the classes from the shared module. Initially it worked perfectly but now that I modified some classes in the shared module, the error appears.

My project structure looks this way:

As you can see there are some compilation errors in the Platform class but the android app is working fine. The error says "The feature "multi platform projects" is experimental and should be enabled explicitly".

The ios app looks like this:

Later Edit:

So apparently I found that I encounter this errors when I add this dependencies in shared.build.gradle in the common source set:

I've built a small bot in Kotlin.

It's finished and I can run it from my developer tools. I am using the application plugin to attempt distribution but I keep failing.

./gradlew run runs the bot as expected.

I was looking for something like ./gradlew installDist and then just running installationDir/bin/App (similar to Ktor apps) and running the app. But it just exits successfully with no output when I should see a lot of logging output.

What am I doing wrong?
