Curious to know how is it different from Flutter, and how is it different from Android Compose.

03/27/2023, 5:36 PMIt seems like the runtime is mostly shared, so state management, recomposition, and all of that should be the same as Android (technically behind by a month or 2). The main difference is UI, where you’ll want to look at either the compose:ui module for high level code, or at skiko for the lower-level integration. Skiko github: https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko

03/27/2023, 5:50 PMHow up to date is the book? I know there’s been a lot of internal changes in Compose, and there’s a lot more still in progress.

04/18/2023, 9:11 AMWell i have explored the code. Found skia is bundled with iOS. Skia is already available in Android. The compose core uses skia for rendering.
They have even explained it a little bit in Kotlin conf
