HI everyone, I have created my first ever library....

# multiplatform

[Ismail]

HI everyone, I have created my first ever library. It's a Kotlin multiplatform lottie animation library. Version 1 is out now. https://github.com/ismai117/kottie/blob/main/README.md
Try it out, and I appreciate any feedback. It works on Android, iOS, and desktop. I'm now working on the web part.

[jamshedalamqaderi]

Really impressive. I was doing it in multiplatform way because there was no library for that. but i can do it in 2 lines of code. Thank you for the library

[jamshedalamqaderi]

Do i need to add any ios code?

[Ismail]

Nope, just kotlin. you dont need any *expect*/*actual* mechanisms

[jamshedalamqaderi]

That's great.

[Farhazul Mullick]

You are using Skottie Graphics for kotlin-native target, right?

[Ismail]

Yep that's correct, for the Android side. It's using lottie

[Ahmed Elzeiny]

@Ismail Does it supports base64 images rendering in iOS ?

[Ismail]

No, just animations, URL | file | jsonstring

[Ahmed Elzeiny]

@Ismail do you have any idea how I can render lottie file that contain base64 images in CMP ios ?

[Ismail]

Try converting it to a byte or use readbytes() then decodeToString and add it to jsonstring spec for Kottie

Or you can send me a Lottie file with base64 images. I can test it out

[Ahmed Elzeiny]

@Ismail Sure, can you try this file please and lemme know if you have any ideas

people_network_anim.json

[Ismail]

I've tested it out and it doesn't work with base 64 embedded images, i will implement a workaround for it. It might take a while but thanks for letting me know.

[Ahmed Elzeiny]

@Ismail thank you for your help and it would be great if you could share the workaround with us once done please because it’s blocking one of our features, thanks again

[Ismail]

I've finally added Lottie ios, your Lottie file works on kottie

[jamshedalamqaderi]

isn't it supported lottie animation json file supported previously on the ios?

[Ismail]

It did but it wasn't using Lottie ios, i was using skottie to render animations for iOS.

The reason why I changed it was because embedded png images in Lottie json files don't work with skia/skottie

[jamshedalamqaderi]

I've look through the source code. So, i think you're using android version of lottie in ios code. am i right?

[Ismail]

Yep, Lottie-ios.

Android - renders animation via Lottie
iOS - renders animation via Lottie
Desktop - renders animation via Skia/Skottie
Web - renders animation via Skia/Skottie
