You can add SkiaKit to your project by putting this dependency in your Package.swift
:
.package(url: "https://github.com/migueldeicaza/SkiaKit.git", from: "1.0.0")
If using manually, you'll need to download and assemble the SkiaSharp.xcframework
required.
This must be ran on macOS with the Command Line Tools for XCode installed.
git clone https://github.com/migueldeicaza/SkiaKit.git
cd SkiaKit
make download-payload
SkiaKit is platform agnostic and makes a best-effort support for
Linux. An .so
for the SkiaSharp library is included and supports
the following Linux distributions.
The libSkiaSharp.so
file will need to be distributed alongside your project.
You can add SkiaKit to your project by putting this dependency in your Package.swift
:
.package(url: "https://github.com/migueldeicaza/SkiaKit.git", .branch("generated"))
If using manually, you'll need to provide libSkiaSharp.so
in the
root of the SkiaKit
folder. For certain Linux distros,
a convenience script is provided.
This script requires curl
and unzip
.
