the final, full cross platform support (how could this be done?) (non-web desktop support)

[softmarshmallow]

Hey, guys. since mapbox is the coolest map platform on the earth. there could be so much use cases on using mapbox on flutter running on desktop platforms (windows/mac/linux). in my case, i'm trying to use on my company's admin desktop app built on flutter.

yet, flutter team says desktop in only in preview, but it is showing us so much better performance than flutter web, and i haven't faced any critical failures while developing for desktop platform (works like magic!)

bringing back to topic there can be two (or one) ways to make mapbox fully crossplatform.

1. simply showing mapbox-gl through flutter's webview and interfacing.
2. using mapbox official support interfacing
   • https://mapbox.github.io/mapbox-gl-native/macos/0.16.0/
   • https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/tree/master/platform/macos

viewing the second link, it supports mac and linux officially. windows needs some look in since it should be done with glfw or qt way. or the first webview way.

let's share thoughts on this!

i beleive mapbox flutter on desktop apps will be a super use case and, just makes sense.

All points listed above are valid, great :detective: work. Supporting windows will be a painpoint and I would suggest running first with a flutter webview implementation (gl-js) that we can later port to an actual native solution (mapbox-gl-naitve) for the platforms that support it.
