(question) Raspberry Pi support

[felislynx-silae]

Will raspberry pi be ever supported?
This might be gamechanger, since flutter is possible but dart is much worse than kotlin and rpi is primary platform for many iot projects

You can install Android on a Raspberry Pi and create an Android app with Jetpack Compose.

[felislynx-silae]

@peterfortuin yeah, it is possible. It is not production ready solution. Also you loose many advantages of raspbian/arch for heavy duty tasks. I had project that used features that are unavailable in android. So it might be a good idea for many projects but not for all of them.

It would be great if Kotlin Compose was supported on Kotlin/Native, are there any plans for that?

It's possible, however to keep discussion to the point - feel free to compile Skiko (https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko) for Linux/ARM and provide relevant patches/instructions.

[felislynx-silae]

@olonho I don't feel confident enough in my knowledge from c/c++ to compile skiko for ARM :). I would be glad to test the solution and provide feedback on my RPI

I also just come up with this question. After investigating it a bit, I think the first step should be compiling Skia in the Jetbrain repo (https://github.com/JetBrains/skia-build), the skiko (https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko) project depends on that. This is definitely possible (e.g. https://skia.googlesource.com/third_party/sdl/+/master/docs/README-raspberrypi.md), but it takes some effort to set it up.

If you do get the build on a raspberry pi, please do contribute the relevant build script to the jetbrains repository so everyone can benfit.

Note that link above explains SDL build, not Skia one.

As of 0.5.0-build229 we support linux-arm64 in Compose builds.
