Windows and linux platforms support

[M0nteCarl0]

Where is planing add support windows and linux?

The skipstone plugin does actually work for Linux, and we are able to build and test many of our frameworks with it on Linux, so it is useful for things like CI testing. But there isn't yet any good way to build SwiftUI applications on non-macOS platforms. And, of course, the iOS Simulator only runs on macOS, so for day-to-day app development, there isn't yet any good solution for doing this on Linux or Windows.

We are interested supporting other platforms in the future, though.

This could be useful: https://swiftcrossui.dev seems like this would be as easy to translate to as Compose

SwiftCrossUI looks great! Thanks for sharing @aehlke

@lexum0 another interesting project is https://github.com/velox-apps/velox

@aehlke It looks great! Thank you!

I'm currently looking for a solution that exports to Mac, Linux & Windows. Velox seems to fit the bill except for Windows, if it had support I could use it! I hope it gets added soon.

Did you try or use SwiftCrossUI? If so what are your thoughts?

[aehlke]

I have not tried anything yet

SwiftCrossUI has a lot of sustained activity, more than Velox (though that is just a wrapper on top of an active project), but either way both are essentially solo dev endeavors and without a business model to necessarily sustain them

Would it be possible to use Compose Multiplatform to add Windows and Linux support?

[matthewruzzi]

Why not Compose Multiplatform?
