ServiceLoader
has proven itself as a very unstable mechanism on Android (see all the issues in aloadMainDispatcherFactory
comment). Moreover, failures in SL are considered bykotlinx.coroutines
users as errors in the library itself, making it look unstable. We are not really happy with that, so here is an attempt to avoidServiceLoader
on Android forDispatchers.Main
.Though I am not sure whether this change should be merged in
kotlinx.coroutines
. Moreover, I am not sure how exactly to evaluate the potential impact of this change.@wojtek-kalicinski and @JakeWharton could you please help with reviewing this change first?
