zero-native becomes the Native SDK. Apps are authored as native markup plus Zig on a deterministic runtime and rendered by the toolkit's own engine into real OS windows — no browser, no WebView, no interpreter in the binary. - Desktop is complete on macOS, Windows, and Linux: native rendering with per-platform titlebar fidelity, audio playback with streaming, a verified track cache, and real spectrum analysis, native context menus, packaging with sealed code signing, and a deterministic automation and record-replay story. - Experimental iOS and Android host tiers ship behind the same app manifest: simulator and emulator dev loops, archive-ready packaging, real platform tab bars and push navigation, with embedding over the C ABI underneath. - The docs site, component catalog, theme packs, showcase apps, and CHANGELOG carry the full account.
Native SDK mobile-shell example
The mobile shell shape is implemented by the concrete platform hosts in examples/ios and examples/android.
examples/iosuses a native UIKit header with a WKWebView workspace and native command buttons.examples/androiduses a native Android header with a WebView workspace, JNI bridge, native command buttons, and system Back dispatch.
Both hosts leave keyboard avoidance in the native layout system while forwarding viewport metrics to the Native SDK: UIKit adjusts the WebView constraint from keyboard frame notifications, and Android uses adjustResize for soft-keyboard relayout.
Android orientation and screen-size changes stay in the same activity so the embedded runtime survives rotation while resize/frame events update the content surface.
The embedded ABI also includes hardware key, committed text, IME composition, retained GPU/widget accessibility semantics, and widget accessibility action entry points for future GPU/widget text fields.
Use those platform folders when building or running the example.
The shared mobile metadata in app.zon records the intended platforms, capabilities, command IDs, and shell view tree. Package generation maps that shell metadata to native host config for the header labels, command buttons, and WebView workspace while each mobile host still owns safe areas, keyboard behavior, and platform lifecycle.
