Firebase – how to wait until the function is complete in kotlin?

I have the function download url and I want the main program to wait until I have a suitable url and I can put it in the object

    fun uploadImage(userName: String, uri: Uri): String
    {
        uploadImageProcess(userName , uri)
        return downloadUri
    }
     private fun uploadImageProcess(userName: String, uri: Uri){
        val ref = createReference(userName)
        Log.d("uploadImageFUNCTION", "Reference: $ref")
        val uploadTask = ref.putFile(uri)
        val urlTask = uploadTask.continueWithTask { task ->
            if (!task.isSuccessful) {
                task.exception?.let {
                    Log.d("uploadImageFUNCTION", "task upload .exception: $task.exception")
                    throw it
                }
            }
            ref.downloadUrl
        }.addOnCompleteListener { task ->
            if (task.isSuccessful) {
                Log.d("uploadImageFUNCTION", "task downloadUrl : ${task.result}")
                downloadUri = task.result.toString()
            } else {
                Log.d("uploadImageFUNCTION", "task downloadUrl .exception: $task.exception")
            }

    I fixed the problem with the help of a callback that will be activated as soon as the function ends and I won't have to do an await operation

    Use coroutine like this

    suspend fun uploadImageFile(): String {
    return withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
        val deferredResult = async {               
            uploadImage()
        }
        deferredResult.await()
    }
}
