These SDKs allow us to create native iOS, tvOS, watchOS and macOS applications using the same UI controls we would in Objective-C and Xcode, except with the flexibility and elegance of a modern language (C#), the power of the .NET Base Class Library (BCL), and two first-class IDEs—Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio—at our fingertips. This repository is where we do development for the Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac SDKs. The preferred method for installing Xamarin.iOS and Mac is to use the Visual Studio installers (Windows, Mac). The team also strongly recommends using the latest Xamarin SDK and Xcode whenever possible. -

Detox
Gray box end-to-end testing and automation framework for mobile apps
High velocity native mobile development requires us to adopt continuous integration workflows, which means our reliance on manual QA has to drop significantly. Detox tests your mobile app while it's running in a real device/simulator, interacting with it just like a real user. The most difficult part of automated testing on mobile is the tip of the testing pyramid - E2E. The core problem with E2E tests is flakiness, tests are usually not deterministic. We believe the only way to tackle flakiness head on is by moving from black box testing to gray box testing. That's where Detox comes into play. Detox is built from the ground up to support React Native projects as well as pure native ones. Read the Getting Started Guide to get Detox running on your app in less than 10 minutes. We believe that the only way to address the core difficulties with mobile end-to-end testing is by rethinking some of the principles of the entire approach. -

DivKit
DivKit is an open source Server-Driven UI (SDUI) framework
DivKit is an open source Server-Driven UI (SDUI) framework. It allows you to roll out server-sourced updates to different app versions. Also, it can be used for fast UI prototyping, allowing you to write a layout once and then ship it to iOS, Android, and Web platforms. DivKit is an excellent choice to start using server-driven UI in your project because it can be easily integrated as a simple view in any part of your app. At the starting point, you don’t need a server integration. You can include all JSON on the client-side to try it in a real-world application. Also, we’ve made a sandbox for you to experiment with. You can try different samples in the web editor and see the results on the web or in the Android demo app, both of which are available on Google Play. We’ll publish the iOS demo app shortly. The UI in the demo can be updated live: the sandbox connects to the demo app via web sockets. -

PhoneNumberKit
A Swift framework for parsing and formatting phone numbers
Swift 5.3 framework for parsing, formatting and validating international phone numbers. Inspired by Google's libphonenumber. Import PhoneNumberKit at the top of the Swift file that will interact with a phone number. All of your interactions with PhoneNumberKit happen through a PhoneNumberKit object. The first step you should take is to allocate one. A PhoneNumberKit instance is relatively expensive to allocate (it parses the metadata and keeps it in memory for the object's lifecycle), you should try and make sure PhoneNumberKit is allocated once and deallocated when no longer needed. To parse a string, use the parse function. The region code is automatically computed but can be overridden if needed. PhoneNumberKit automatically does a hard type validation to ensure that the object created is valid, this can be quite costly performance-wise and can be turned off if needed. -

SkiaSharp
SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms
SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms based on Google's Skia Graphics Library. It provides a comprehensive 2D API that can be used across mobile, server and desktop models to render images. Building SkiaSharp is mostly straight forward. The main issue is the multiple dependencies for each platform. However, these are easy to install as they are found on the various websites. If you are just working on managed code, it is even easier as there mays to skip all the native builds. Because there are multiple distros of Linux, and we cannot possibly support them all, we have a separate NuGet package that will contain the supported binaries for a few distros. -

Carthage
A simple, decentralized dependency manager for Cocoa
Carthage is intended to be the simplest way to add frameworks to your Cocoa application. Carthage builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks, but you retain full control over your project structure and setup. Carthage does not automatically modify your project files or your build settings. Get Carthage by running brew install carthage or choose another installation method. Create a Cartfile in the same directory where your .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace is. List the desired dependencies in the Cartfile. Once you have Carthage installed, you can begin adding frameworks to your project. Note that Carthage only supports dynamic frameworks, which are only available on iOS 8 or later (or any version of OS X). We encourage using XCFrameworks as of version 0.37.0 (January 2021), and require XCFrameworks when building on an Apple Silicon Mac. Switching from discrete framework bundles to XCFrameworks requires a few changes to your project. -
22
MJExtension
A conversion framework between JSON and model
A fast, convenient and nonintrusive conversion framework between JSON and model. Dictionary-to-model framework with fast conversion speed and easy to use. A large number of unit tests have been carried out on various commonly used data scenarios. MJExtension is an ultra-lightweight framework that converts between dictionaries and models. Coding all properties of a model with only one line of code. Coding (archiving and unarchiving) of all attributes of the model can be achieved with just one line of code. @objcattributes should be added to class and property for declaration of Objc accessibility. After Swift4, please add attributes before @objcmodification. Swift to ensure properties can be exposed to ObjC used. -
23
Airtest
UI Automation Framework for Games and Apps
¿Airtest provides cross-platform APIs, including app installation, simulated input, assertion and so forth. Airtest uses image recognition technology to locate UI elements so that you can automate games and apps without injecting any code. Airtest cases can be easily run on large device farms, using the command line or python API. HTML reports with detailed info and screen recording allow you to quickly locate failure points. NetEase builds Airlab on top of the Airtest Project. AirtestIDE is an out-of-the-box GUI tool that helps to create and run cases in a user-friendly way. AirtestIDE supports a complete automation workflow. Poco adds the ability to directly access object(UI widget) hierarchy across the major platforms and game engines. It allows writing instructions in Python, to achieve more advanced automation. -

DTCoreText
Methods to allow using HTML code with CoreText
DTCoreText renders HTML into Core Text–backed attributed text on iOS, providing fine control over typography and inline content. It parses a practical subset of HTML/CSS and maps elements to attributed strings, handling fonts, colors, paragraph styles, lists, links, and embedded images or attachments. The layout engine uses Core Text framesetting to produce high-quality text rendering, including proper line breaking, kerning, and ligatures. Developers can plug in custom URL handlers, attachment loaders, and style overrides to adapt rendering to app needs. The library is particularly useful where NSAttributedString from HTML falls short or when you need consistent results across iOS versions. It also exposes hooks to measure, cache, and interact with text runs, making it suitable for rich article views, e-book readers, and mixed media content. -

Desktop
Building Local-First apps for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android
desktop enables building cross-platform desktop applications with Elixir by pairing a Phoenix/LiveView UI with a native webview shell. The approach keeps application logic on the BEAM—supervised, fault-tolerant, and hot-reload-friendly—while rendering an HTML/CSS/JS interface inside the system’s embedded browser engine. It offers conveniences for packaging and distribution on Windows, macOS, and Linux, including app metadata, icons, and startup integration. The library exposes desktop-specific affordances such as system tray menus, window management, and notifications, so applications feel native rather than like generic web wrappers. Because LiveView drives the UI, state lives on the server process, enabling real-time updates without heavy client frameworks. The result is a productive stack for tools, dashboards, and utilities where Elixir’s concurrency and resilience shine on the desktop. Teams get to reuse their Phoenix skills and still ship a polished native app experience.
