I've worked on some projects (private and commercial) where embedding Rust into one of those targets was required: iOS, Android, Flutter, macOS, Web. I've played around with a variety of approaches because there exist multiple solutions depending on the platform. Apart from Web/Wasm, where Rust really shines, the next best solution is uniffi by Mozilla, which has quite solid iOS/Android support: https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs While this works, the bigger pain (at least on iOS) is that the Rust-Compiler LLVM and Xcode LLVM are not always in sync leading to strange bugs. Also, packaging Rust libraries into a nice XCFramework (or even SPM Module) works, but usually involves hacky shell scripts. The reason why you'd still want to do this is if there's a Rust library that has no equivalent on the Kotlin or Swift side. There're a lot of good crates / libraries for Rust would require an expensive re-implementation in Swift or Kotlin. Also, because Rust doesn't have a garbage collector, it is easier to embed in garbage collected languages like Kotlin without running into situations where the two garbage collectors don't agree.
