"The news that the .NET UI framework Uno Platform project would be upstreaming features and fixes into the core multiplatform .NET libraries makes a lot of sense. The open source project has been working on cross-device .NET features for some time now, and deeper involvement with Microsoft on elements of .NET MAUI for Android and iOS builds on that existing relationship."
"One of the interesting parts of the announcement was the news that Uno would begin co-maintaining the SkiaSharp project with Microsoft. This project is an important part of delivering cross-platform, portable .NET code, but most people don't know about it as it's part of the plumbing and hidden underneath libraries and components. So, what is SkiaSharp and how can you use it in your own code?"
"Originally developed by Skia before being bought by Google in 2005, the once-proprietary 2D graphics library was released under a BSD license in 2008. Since then, the project has become a key element of many open source graphics systems, used in the Chromium browser engine, Mozilla's tools, and Libre Office. In Windows development, both Uno and Avalonia use it as a cross-platform drawing engine, helping your code work on desktop and on mobile devices."
Uno Platform will upstream features and fixes into the core multiplatform .NET libraries and will co-maintain the SkiaSharp project alongside Microsoft. SkiaSharp is a .NET binding to the Skia 2D graphics library, originally developed by Skia and released under a BSD license following Google's acquisition. Skia provides a consistent drawing abstraction across many backends and operating systems, enabling identical visual output regardless of underlying display technology. Uno and Avalonia use Skia to deliver cross-platform rendering on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. SkiaSharp exposes Skia functionality to C# developers so portable .NET code can render graphics across devices.
