Skia Host for macOS

Preparation

Before you can build you need the libSkiaSharp.dylib.

cd UnoNativeMac
./getSkiaSharpDylib.sh

See /UnoNativeMac/README.md for more info.

Requirements

• Minimum OS version: same as the dotnet version used

Pros

• Faster startup: Fewer dependencies

  • Removing GTK3+ (native, requires separate installation)
  • Removing Silk.NET on macOS (not needed for Metal)

• Faster execution: Reduced number of managed<->native transitions

• Faster builds: No dependency on the Xamarin/Microsoft macOS SDK and toolchain

• Faster rendering: Use Metal (not OpenGL, which was disabled for Gtk/Skia/macOS) by default. Software rendering is used as a fallback.
