Description

By integrating wire with ktor, we can create a multiplatform gRPC client using Kotlin that supports Linux, macOS, and Windows targets. It would be great if wire provided a Kotlin native implementation for the gRPC client.

Actually, I have created a demo project to accomplish this: ShadowySpirits/kotlin-native-grpc. And I am willing to contribute to upstream.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked ShadowySpirits/kotlin-native-grpc demo and comparing its approach with Wire's existing gRPC client support. The work is done when Wire provides a Kotlin Native gRPC client supporting Linux, macOS, and Windows targets.
