Request: Publish iOS/native artifacts for Compose runtime

This is not about Compose UI or Material Components

The Compose runtime works on iOS & native, but there are no easily available artifacts. I think the Kotlin community would greatly benefit from having native artifacts of Compose runtime available, even without a UI library. And I think JetBrains is already in a great position to offer them (since you already offer JVM and JS artifacts).

The compose compiler and runtime are useful even for non-UI use cases. It's a cool general purpose library for any kind of tree manipulation.

The community has already demonstrated some interesting use cases like:

Mosaic, a tool for building native Console UI
As a DSL for Generating GraphViz dot files
Driving iOS UI with UIKit
For pure-business logic by writing Presenters in Compose

Having easily available artifacts would make it easier for people to experiment and share their work.

"Google really should be shipping the Compose runtime as a proper multiplatform artifact for all Kotlin targets to remedy this situation. Unfortunately their Kotlin multiplatform story is a few years behind the community’s need and the prospect of this happening anytime soon is very unlikely. The best we can hope for now is JetBrains to ship a proper multiplatform artifact of the Compose runtime" - https://jakewharton.com/multiplatform-compose-and-gradle-module-metadata-abuse/

Please? :smile_cat:
