Kotlin coroutines barrier: Wait for all coroutines to finish

I need to start many coroutines in a for loop and get a callback in the Main thread after all the tasks are completed.

What is the best way to do this?

//Main thread
fun foo(){
    messageRepo.getMessages().forEach {message->
       GlobalScope.launch {
            doHardWork(message)
       }
    }
   // here I need some callback to the Main thread that all work is done.
}

And there is no variant to iterate messages in CoroutineScope. The iteration must be done in the Main thread.

You can wait until all tasks will be completed with awaitAll and then execute your callback in the main thread with withContext

fun foo() {
    viewModelScope.launch {
        messageRepo.getMessages().map { message ->
            viewModelScope.async(Dispatchers.IO) {
                doHardWork(message)
            }
        }.awaitAll()
        withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
            // here I need some callback that all work is done.
        }
    }
}
