Multiplatform CameraX?

[Richard Kirk]

I have an early prototype of my colour measuring tool using camerax, running in Kotlin on Android Studio. I have been asked to get it running on iOS too. There are JetBrains cross-platform tools. Is it possible to drive a camera in a cross-platform way? 

My gut feeling is iPhones have specialised cameras, so camerax support on iOS might be a lot of work for a very basic support. Hower, it would be good to have a categoric answer if there is one: 'yes we can' | 'no you can't' | 'someone else's problem'.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for asking - Google offers a multiplatform development platform called Flutter (https://flutter.dev/ ) that works with Android and iOS, however it currently uses Camera1. I believe the team is looking into either porting to Camera2 or CameraX however I do not know the current status or timeline. Unfortunately CameraX does not support iOS at this time.

Thanks

I had seen mentions of Flutter, but I had forgotten about it. It is very helpful to have a definite answer. 

Thanks.
