@desugar_64 I’m using Skia for Linux. For Android the demo is currently using the OSUI for UIKit pipeline via UIKit-cross-platform. You can know more on how we map DSL to UIView in OSUI repo and how UIKit work on Android on ucp repo.

Added view renderer backend for OpenSwiftUI on Android via flowkey/UIKit-cross-platform

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

Swift on Android is becoming real!

We’ve started working on bringing OpenSwiftUI to Android — contributions are welcome!

Check for issues labeled "platform: Android"

@hwwaanng 期待 Gestures.framework 能今年转正变成默认，现在 UIKit/SwiftUI 里可以 opt-in ，测试了下还是一堆坑

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

Text and a simple raster renderer for Linux :)

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

We are bringing OpenSwiftUI support to Linux!
So far no GUI backend is added. Only a basic stdout renderer compared to the UIKit/AppKit view renderer of OpenSwiftUI on Apple platform.
But you can evaluate the full OpenSwiftUI API here like Layout and other stuff here.

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

Since all those right side dependency stuff is open source and cross platform.
A Linux/Android port of OpenSwiftUI is near in the future this year. 🎉

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

@_silgen_name Yeah. It is true. I made most of it last weekend. Both Linux and Android is ready.
After the foundation PR is merged. I'm welcome for any GUI backend PR support.

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

It is using the same architecture you love about SwiftUI and share the same API interface.
I do not know why Apple does not open source it and make it cross-platform.
But that's why OpenSwiftUI kicks in to fill the gap :)

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

We also managed to bring OpenSwiftUI to Android via many patches. There are more compiler issue (both clang and swift) need to be resolved upstream.
If you know some android workgroup member who is also interested in this project. Please reach to me via DM.

Fun fact: on appleOS 26, it’s possible to disable all SwiftUI tap gestures in an app without affecting other gestures or functionality.
No source code changes nor hooking required.
I’ll share a full write-up and the accompanying Gist this weekend. 👀
(Hint: Env & UserDefaults)

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

@pepicrft Nice, I’ll check it out. The existing automatic Swift Package to generated project flow in Tuist has a few limitations for my use case, like SwiftPM target headers not showing up in Xcode automatically. Explained the limitation in detail in this post

I also add directly linking private API support as I explained in the blog.
You can enable it by setting SCREENSHIELDKIT_USE_SPI_INTERFACES=1 in the latest 0.2.1 release

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

SwiftUI can also hide a specific view from screenshots directly without wrapping it in a secure UITextField.

The trick is to reuse privacySensitive(false), inject SwiftUI's private redaction reason.

Check the detail here

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

For integration usage, just use ScreenShieldKit. We added SwiftUI/OpenSwiftUI support in 0.2.0 release.

@Lakr233 AI 修复不了的话，我会懒得和它废话，直接选择关掉它自己上
eg. 让它修某个渲染层级修复，定位空转了半个小时全在废话 🤣

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

@simplydt Yeah. But disableUpdateMask 0x12 does not work for macOS somehow.

Still try to find how QuarztCore consume it differently on macOS.

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

Looks like there may be inconsistent account state across backend APIs here.
It is indeed banned, but the appeal flow sees current_appeal=null and standing=good_standing(via api/account/standing), so /restricted redirects away instead of showing the form.
@ClaudeDevs @claudeai

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

A month after my Claude account was banned, there’s still no appeal result.
Worse: the appeal form no longer works:
account-ban-appeals → 307 /restricted → /new since API showed current_appeal=null and standing is good.

Support email just loops me back to the same broken form.

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

Been using Claude Code for quite a while.
This morning I even got a “Claude for Open Source check-in” survey — happily filled it out.
A few hours later… my account got banned.

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

OpenSwiftUI 0.18.0:
- Initial OpenSwiftUI renderer support is added and on by default.
- Start with this release, you can run OSUI on the latest 26 now.

#OSUI

[Kyle Ye @KyleSwifter]

OpenSwiftUI 0.17.2:
- Add code signing for XCFrameworks and OpenSwiftUI-spm binary package integration.

Binary integration is now easier than ever — just add the OpenSwiftUI-spm package:

Finally found some time to get OpenSwiftUI’s CI fully green again.
The UI test pipeline now has a persistent reference-image cache, so we no longer need to re-record SwiftUI baseline snapshots on every run.
It's much faster now.
