I was just thinking: Since Skia is a C/C++ library, is it possible to use Kotlin/Native to create Kotlin bindings for it and use it as a multiplatform library for iOS?

I guess that should be possible. But you can't use Compose with Kotlin Native (for now)

Yeah...

Skia does have an experimental C api, but I’m not sure how feature complete it is. AFAIK JVM based binding that use JNI (Skija/Skiko) bind the C++ API.

I see...

since you ask this in the compose channel, I assume the goal would be to get it in Skiko to run Compose. Since Skija (afaik the Skiko API is imported from there) does a (their words) hand-crafted binding, if you’d craft the same binding for the C API, it’s not an impossible goal.

That's what Flutter has been doing for a while actually: using skia on iOS and Android.

both Android and iOS support C++ (edit to clarify: in their native toolchains)

Yeah, cinterop does not play well with C++ for the moment. I hope it will come one day 🙂
