Any update/plan for the mobile libraries #515

Closed

Description

@charroch

Do you have a roadmap for the mobile libraries?

Are you planning rewrites in the platforms' specific languages (i.e. Kotlin/Swift) or a port of Iroh via cross-compilation?

I am currently looking at solutions for an upcoming application, and I have explored go-mobile, IPFS Lite, Rust IPFS (until discontinued). I was planning to investigate iroh and was hoping to understand better your roadmap.

Thanks,
Carl

    [I will let @b5 reply to the roadmap part]

    We are not planning any rewrites, the core code will stay in rust and be cross compiled for the target platform. Luckily both Java & Swift (and I think Kotlin, though no experience from me there) have great support for FFI bindings to C, so the iroh libraries can than be exposed using a C based api to those.
