Hello!

According to this answer [Kotlin IOS/Android Mutliplatform Hands On tutorial: Unresolved reference: platform - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/59337375/10055887) is it not possible to access and code with native apis like the swift ones on Windows but only on macOS. I understand that to code in Swift you need to use macOS but does that also apply for the native code in the `iosMain` folder in the shared module? Is this correct or am I missing something?
