This almost works. The only issue is that, in the iOS Simulator only, not on actual devices,
NSTimeZoneandkotlinx.datetime.TimeZoneuse different timezone databases with this implementation, so there are some differences between them. During my testing, there was one extra timezone that our library recognized butNSTimeZonedidn't, breakingTimeZone.toNSTimeZone()occasionally.HowardHinnant/date#577 suggests a solution. I tried to implement it, and I think I'm accessing the correct paths, but for some reason, this still doesn't work.
Maybe I'll have to dig into what timezone database iOS Simulator actually uses, or maybe I made a mistake somewhere and will just need to fix our code.
EDIT: turns out, the problem goes beyond different timezone databases, so we'll have to live with it.
