[ios][libgdx]premultipliedAlpha Rendering Issue on iOS Compared to Android

[zyvv]

Description

I'm encountering an issue with premultipliedAlpha rendering for Spine files when transitioning between Android and iOS platforms. On Android, enabling premultipliedAlpha correctly renders the black background as transparent. However, on iOS, the rendering does not display as expected.

Details

• Android Behavior: The colors are rendered correctly with transparency using the following code:

  float red = r * color.r * multiplier;
  float green = g * color.g * multiplier;
  float blue = b * color.b * multiplier;
  float light = NumberUtils.intToFloatColor((int)alpha << 24 | (int)(blue * lightColor.b) << 16 | (int)(green * lightColor.g) << 8 | (int)(red * lightColor.r));

• iOS Behavior: The iOS code differs from Android's implementation and results in incorrect rendering.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Load the same Spine file on both Android and iOS.
2. Enable premultipliedAlpha on both platforms.
3. Observe the rendering differences, especially with black backgrounds.

Expected Behavior

On both platforms, the black background should be rendered as transparent when premultipliedAlpha is enabled.

Actual Behavior

The black background is correctly rendered as transparent on Android but not on iOS.

The iOS code differs from Android's implementation and results in incorrect rendering.

What do you mean by that? The code inside spine-libgdx is the same on all platforms.

On iOS, your atlas .png files are most likely preprocessed by the MobiVM build tools (actually Xcode). Try rendering with premultipliedAlpha false on iOS. If that gives you the correct output, then the preprocessing is at fault, which you can turn off in the MobiVM configuration if I remember correctly.

I encountered the same problem!
When playing spine through libgdx on Android, the background is transparent, but when using spine-ios with the same settings on iOS, the background is black.
Anyone know why this is?

Please show the code you use to draw that skeleton on iOS, including the SwiftUI scaffold around it with its background settings etc.

Have a solution to the problem?

Help please, how to set "premultipliedAlpha" true/false on iOS to SpineView?
