A clarification question on https://twitter.com/JimSproch/status/1646495932673064961:

The output of the Kotlin compiler is truly naive, indistinguishable from a library written in Java/ObjectiveC on their respective platforms, you can directly call Android/iOS APIs.

Which native iOS APIs does Compose for iOS use? UIKit? CoreGraphics? Some of both?

what does this even mean? it reads like bitcoin spam

I've asked the same question today at the JetBrains booth at KotlinConf, and from how I understood it, it's all drawn on a canvas. So no native widgets under the hood

It uses skia.

^

Compose uses UIKit: UIView, UIViewController for display own canvas And some another iOS API: Like keyboard events, orientation events, etc.

Oh really, no native controls?

For now - no native controls

For Native Components there will be Redwood. https://github.com/cashapp/redwood/ The talk at KotlinConf: At some point I hope to see a Compose UI Multiplatform and Redwood interop (Redwood Compose UI Widget).

Thanks, Redwood it is also very interesting product! We are thinking about using Redwood inside our Compose Multiplatform with a simplified version of UIKitView (maybe RedwoodView) right inside Compose Multiplatform. This approach can help to share the same State<T>
