Just to clarify, does "cross-platform" in this case mean only {iOS, Android, Web}?

- Aerbil313 3y agoApparently yes. But we have installable PWAs, so…

- SushiHippie 3y agoI suppose on desktop (windows, linux, macos, ...) you could use the rust component as a normal library without the need of special stuff like on android ios and web
- jeroenhd 3y agoWindows can run APK files natively these days: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/android/wsa/ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/android/wsa/ ChromeOS runs Android apps as well. Apple has Mac Catalyst (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/mac_catalyst https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/mac_catalyst) which may just work with this wrapper. Linux can run Android through Waydroid (though doesn't work as well as on Windows). PWAs can be installed to desktop on practically any browser that isn't Firefox to make them look like native applications with icons and protocol/share handlers and all. So technically, it's cross-platform as in "mobile apps that will work on desktop if you like a terrible experience"
