Add macOS support via k/n

[dima-dencep]

My app runs on macOS via Kotlin/Native, without the JVM. I’ve run into a issue where there isn’t a single player library for Compose Multiplatform that supports experimental macOS Native target. Could you add support for it?
Basically, you just need to move the logic from iosMain to appleMain. I took a look, and you’re using a minimal set of iOS-specific frameworks (mostly just UIKit).
Your other libraries (such as Platform-Tools) already have a macOS native target, so you definitely know how this works. Thanks in advance!

It doesn't seem to me that the code is portable; I don't have enough knowledge of using Compose in native Kotlin on macOS to make a definitive judgment, but I would recommend using GraalVM native from Nucleus instead. https://nucleusframework.dev/graalvm/

You lose cinterop, and overall, integration with Apple frameworks becomes more difficult

Why would I need to use a workaround when Kotlin Native already provides a macOS target?

This is only my opinion as a developer, but today I can’t really see myself developing an app without the Java libraries.

Kotlin/Native, especially on macOS, is still a desert. On top of that, Kotlin/Native is much slower than GraalVM. I invite you to run a few very simple benchmarks yourself, you might be surprised.

It is also completely experimental and barely supported by JetBrains. Officially, it does not really exist. Moreover, I’m not sure you can draw inside the window title bar the way you can with Nucleus decorated windows.

So yes, for all these reasons, and probably others too, I don’t see much value in using Kotlin/Native. That’s why I created Nucleus. The next version will notably bring a new backend with support for multitouch gestures and touch input.
