Precompiled builds about cargokit HOT 3 OPEN

Hi,

what do you mean by ios missing from native_toolchain_rust? The iOS support should be all there. Cargokit is basically a hack that was necessary before native assets, and I plan to retire it as soon as possible because it's essentially holds together with duck tape. native_toolchain_rust is the way to go. Though it currently needs flutter main and an experimental flag.

One thing cargokit has that native_toolchain_rust doesn't is support for precompiled binaries, but long term I'd prefer to rely on native_doctor to setup user environment instead of shipping binary blobs.

Interesting!

Then obviously I was wrong :). The thing that made me jump to that conclusion is the presence of https://github.com/irondash/cargokit/blob/main/build_tool/lib/src/build_pod.dart in cargokit. But as said, my experience with building for iOS is extremely limited.

What do you mean by this? Now I'm confused; I thought the whole point was to compile the binaries 'here' to begin with?

Is flutter main needed only for building the package? or also for consuming?

I will post any further questions on the native_toolchain_rust repo instead.

After reading the proposal for native_assets again, I realize I had it all wrong, apparently. My goal of bundling the shared library with the package seems really not what that is all intended for?

If so, I guess I need to go about it in another way: build the native bits with cargokit, place them somewhere so that they get picked up by pub publish, and then use native_assets_cli to hand them over to the app that is being built. Does that sound about right?
