There is kotlinx-datetime - the multiplatform clone of Java Date/Time API.
It there any plans to create multiplatform analog of java.util.UUID?

Alternative: GitHub - cy6erGn0m/kotlinx-uuid: kotlinx-uuid is a multiplatform (MPP) Kotlin library introducing support for UUID.
or my fork GitHub - hfhbd/kotlinx-uuid: kotlinx-uuid is a multiplatform (MPP) Kotlin library introducing support for UUID.

Data class Children (
val id : Long, // = Uuid
val name : String,
val age : Int

)

I am trying to generate an Id but i can’t figure out how to with this library

This should not work, a String representing a UUID is not convertible to a Long. Even in its binary form, a UUID needs 2 Longs worth of bits to be represented in memory.
