Su primera solicitud GET

With the client ready, you can now make your first GET request from commonMain and reuse it on both apps. 🚀

Every Ktor request is a suspend function, so it never blocks a thread and fits naturally into coroutines.

The simplest request passes a URL string to client.get, which returns an HttpResponse you can read from.

Check whether the call succeeded by reading response.status before you trust the body.

To read the payload, call bodyAsText, which suspends and returns the raw response as a String.

Ktor can deserialize directly into a type using body, saving you from parsing the text by hand later.

You can also skip the response object entirely and let get return your typed result in a single expression.

Put the call inside a clean suspend function so both apps share the exact same fetching logic.

Because the call suspends, you launch it inside a coroutine scope rather than calling it from plain synchronous code.

This single function now runs on Android and iOS with no changes, because the engine differences live below the API.

For real apps, hide raw get calls inside a repository so the UI never touches Ktor directly.

How do you read the raw response payload as a String?

A GET request is a suspend call: get the URL, check status, then read the body as text or a typed object. One function serves both apps.
