[QUESTION] Is it possible to user SKGLView in MAUI on Windows and Mac? (and if not, are there any plans for it?)

[marcojak]

I'm creating an app with MAUI targeting all platforms but mainly Windows and Mac.
So far I've used SKCanvasView with good results but I would like to use SKGLView for better performances.

I've tried to use it but the app crashes with this message:
Handler not found for view SkiaSharp.Views.Maui.Controls.SKGLView.

I've installed the package SkiaSharp.Views.Maui.Controls.Compatibility hoping to use the previous renderers but without success.

Am I missing something or it's not possible to use SKGLView with MAUI? If so, are there any plans for it?

Thank you very much.

Same issue here.

IIRC, the problem is that OpenGL is not supported on MacCatalyst and that's why you can't use SKGLView for rendering on Mac. You should use Metal, i.e. SKMetalView, but that's not cross-platform. So, AFAIK, at the moment there is no cross-platform solution for GPU acceleration with SkiaSharp + MAUI.

Thanks for that. What about Windows? If I remember correctly, there was a correct implementation of SKGLView acceleration in skiasharp. Not sure why that solution cannot be implemented in MAUI. It seems that this project is almost abandoned...I don't think there are too many maintainers unfortunately. Best Regards, Marco

Yes, it's weird that they have almost nobody working on this project even though it is so widely used.

I would be interested in an update on this.
