Way to add request timeout in apollo kotlin multiplatform

[ganesh-4212]

We don't have a way to set request timeout in Apollo client
I'm using apollo kotlin multiplatform in my project and it's amazing but i have found that there is no way to set request timeout. Both OkHttp and NSURLConnection supports it currently we have to re-implement the whole NetworkTransport in both android and ios to achieve this.

Adding requestTimeout parameter ApolloHttpNetworkTransport class
Adding the requestTimeout parameter would be a good idea.

val apolloClient = ApolloClient(
      networkTransport = ApolloHttpNetworkTransport(
          serverUrl = "https://api.example.com",
          requestTimeout = 10_000 //10 seconds
       )
 )

Thanks for opening that up! Do you feel like opening a PR about this? If not, I can look at the same time as #2665.

Hi @martinbonnin thanks for the quick response. sadly i'll not be able to work on it now.

I think you can take this along with #2665.

@martinbonnin What is a correct way to set a read timeout in Apollo 3.7? I no longer see ApolloHttpNetworkTransport in distribution. I would appreciate a Java example.

@andrey-nakin you can use DefaultHttpEngine:

    apolloClient = ApolloClient.Builder()
        .serverUrl("https://...")
        .httpEngine(DefaultHttpEngine(timeoutMillis = 10_000))
        .build()
