Any updates on this? I'm quiet interested on the progress :-)

I will be starting this soon as part of the v1.60.1 release. The v1.60.0 does have the raster-based widget SKWidget already in the package.

One thing that I need to consider is the GPU-based view. I see I need to use a newer version of OpenTK that is not available on NuGet, and at the same time, there is an OpenTK bundled in Xamarin.Forms.

So far I have not really looked into this, but what I might do is not provide a GPU-based widget for the platform package (at least not yet), and then base the Forms SKGLView off the existing OpenGL view in Xamarin.Forms.

Thanks for the feedback and the great work! 👍

I also got stuck at OpenGL when I took a look at this this weekend. OpenTK's GLWidget looked promising, but this is only available for OpenTK-3.0.0-pre, which requires gtksharp3, which Xamarin doesn't use :-/

Yeah. Xamarin.Forms bundles their own assemblies that they build somewhere.

No plans for 1.60.1?

mattleibow commented

Moving this to v1.60.3 so we can get out a version that fixes a UWP bug (#536)

Please can someone help me with custom renderer, until this will be fixed in future releases ?

Worth noting that Xamarin.GTK now requires OpenTK 3+, so that roadblock shouldn't be a factor anymore. Hopefully increased ease means its priority can be increased.

I am hoping to get these views in sometime soon. Let me move this to v1.68.2 so we can track this a bit more visibly.
